New writing call-out, Full Stack is back!

Full Stack competition

The Full Stack project is KDC Theatre’s new writing competition and anthology show.

Each year we set a new theme and brief, and invite writers to submit new short plays. The winning scripts will make up our Full Stack summer show; an anthology production of 6-8 short plays, staged at one of the London venues KDC Theatre work with.

The summer show takes place in June/July and runs for 5 nights.

And our new brief and the submission window is now open! Please read the brief carefully and get writing – we will announce winners after the submission window closes.

You spoke: our Full Stack theme for 2021

The results are in! This year’s Full Stack theme will be Obsession. Many thanks for all the suggestions, and congrats to the winning theme – read on for all the information on Full Stack 2021.

We’re looking for short scripts in any genre for an anthology show in the summer, so get your thinking caps on.

The full brief for submissions is as follows:

Theme: Obsession

Mandatory prop to use / mention: bottle of cheap wine

The format for Full Stack is designed to encourage simplicity and efficiency of storytelling, so submissions need to:

  • Be no longer than 4 sides of A4 paper (ie. about 8 minutes)
  • Have no more than 3 actors needed
  • Include your name & date written

Your script can be shorter than 4 pages, and/or have more than 3 characters (as long as 3 actors can portray them all). You can submit as many scripts as you like!

Please send your scripts to newwriting@kdctheatre.com, by 26 March. Happy writing!
