Raw Treats
THANKS TO THE SUPPORT OF DARLO DRAMA
SUBMISSIONS FOR 2025
ARE NOW OPEN
At subtlenuance, we passionately believe in new work.
Since our inception in 2008, we've produced 30 original plays.
And that passion is why we're returning to our Raw Treats program.
Raw Treats is a series of ongoing play readings.
If you’re a Sydney-based playwright, we’d love to hear from you!
What we’ll provide:
-
A venue for a private reading of your play, thanks to the support of Darlo Drama.
-
A quality cast of actors.
-
An opportunity for you to hear your script read and to ask questions about how it’s received.
What you’ll provide:
A terrific draft script (over 45 minutes in duration) about any topic.
Things to note:
We're not offering to present a public showcase of your work,
but a private reading
that will help you further develop your script.
We're not seeking plays to produce.
You will neither be charged a fee nor receive a payment.
Your script remains your intellectual property.
The keywords for Raw Treats are relaxed and friendly.
We’ll choose a date for the reading that suits you.
Expressions of Interest Close 24 Feb
Please send a pdf of your script to
Paul at adsubtlenuancetheatre@gmail.com
Previous call-outs have suggested
that we won't be able to host readings
for all the submissions we receive.
We'll choose your play for a reading if we believe
what we're offering
can help you
further develop your script.
(And, so as not to waste your time,
if you already have a director attached
to your script, Raw Treats is not a program
designed for you.)
