Dateline: 8th April, 2007
Protect the Human is a new playwriting competition run by iceandfire theatre in conjunction with Amnesty International UK. The aim of the competition is to explore individual stories of displacement and conflict, highlighting the power of the 'ordinary' individual voice. They are looking for plays that imaginatively interpret iceandfire's mission statement of "Exploring individual stories of dis placement and conflict." The company says, "‘Displacement’ and ‘conflict’ are terms that may be hard to engage with but we believe these concepts are universal and that everyone has been affected by them – in one way or another. The aim of the competition is to encourage writers to make that connection and develop it into a full-length play." Winning plays will receive a rehearsed reading at The Soho Theatre in London during Amnesty's 'Protect the Human' week, October 2007. The overall winner will be awarded £500 which will be increased to a standard commission plus dramaturgical support if the play goes into full production. For full details and inspiration on where to begin please visit www.iceandfire.co.uk/protectthehuman or email protectthehuman@iceandfire.co.uk Initial submissions are welcomed between 1st and 14th May. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
