Every year, scripts remain unfinished.

Ideas stay in notebooks.

Characters never meet an audience.

Not because they weren't good enough…

Because they were never submitted.

Script2Stage exists to discover new writing and champion stories that deserve to be heard. We're inviting playwrights and writers from around the world to submit original monologues and duologues written for performers aged 50+.

Whether you're an established writer or entering a competition for the very first time, this is your opportunity to share your work with our judges and become part of FILM EXPO SOUTH.

Don't spend another year wondering "What if?"

Submit your script and let us discover your story.

There's a unique moment every writer dreams about.

The lights dim.

The audience falls silent.

An actor steps onto the stage and speaks words that, until now, have only existed in your imagination.

That's what Script2Stage is all about.

FILM EXPO SOUTH is seeking original monologues and duologues for performers aged 50+. We want stories that surprise us, move us, make us laugh, challenge us and remind us why live performance continues to matter.

If you've written something you've always hoped would reach an audience, don't let it remain hidden in a notebook or computer folder.

Take the next step.

Your words could become part of our touring programme, performed for audiences across the South of England.
