DARE

1 - 4 April 2027

Birr, Co. Offaly

2027 SCRIPTS Call for Writers.jpg

Calling all Writers  : Scripts invites playwrights to craft stories that ignite, provoke and linger.  The theme for 2027 is : DARE.

 

​

Some dares are whispered. Others change everything.  A leap of faith. A reckless decision. A challenge thrown down. A line crossed.  “Dare” invites playwrights to explore the moments when courage, curiosity, temptation or sheer foolishness push us beyond what feels safe.  What happens when we take a chance? When we challenge authority, confront our fears, break the rules or risk everything for something we believe in?

From small acts of defiance to life-changing decisions, from outrageous comedy to extraordinary courage, the possibilities are endless. 

 

Go on. We dare you!

Selected
Writers

Every year, we invite 3 playwrights to come to Birr for a week of mentorship with Eugene O'Brien and a rehearsed reading of their work by professional actors.
