Page to Stage Festival to
Launch Unique Twitter Competition
PAGE to Stage, Liverpool's annual
festival of new writing, is to launch a Twitter based competition to find a new
full length play for performance next April 2015.
The main thrust of:- 'Page to Stage' is its 1 act play competition where up to 10
writers are selected form a number of entries to have their plays performed
across a 2 week period. However, the festival also promises 2 specially
commissioned full length pieces. "We wanted something more than just a
festival on 1 act plays. We decided to have 1 or 2 full length
offerings during the festival. Then came the question of how to find these." said John Mc, the festival director.
Enter the quaintly named:- "Twogline," a Twitter based Logline competition.
"All writers know what a logline is," John explains:- "It's
that very short description that hooks you into a film; 'In space, no 1
can hear you scream' for example. This is a competition for writers to tweet
a logline on a selected day with the hashtag TWOGLINE" John goes on to explain that, from all the entries, a number of them will be
selected and invited to send in a much longer description and, eventually, a
script. All details, including dates, can be found on the
online. |
