The British Theatre Challenge is delighted to bring you five very different plays, wrapped into one entertaining evening. Join Sky Blue Theatre’s prestigious international new writing event for a night of diverse, exciting and award winning plays from around the world.

This year 274 new short plays were submitted from 16 different countries making this the biggest challenge yet. The British Theatre Challenge has been supporting and producing work by emerging and established writers across the globe since 2012.  In the past few years over 35 winning plays have been given offers of publication as a direct result of the challenge.

Previous years have seen audiences treated to a thriller, musical, historical fantasy, psychiatric drama and slapstick comedy. This year’s winning plays will be posted shortly.
