Winner Announced for Ambassador Theatre Group Playwright's Prize in association with Platform Presents
In December 2021 we made the call out for playwrights internationally to send in their scripts for our annual Playwright’s Prize. A formidable 1,174 scripts were sent in to us and the 10 finalist plays were passed onto our panel of industry experts.
We are extremely excited to announce the five runners-up, and our winning play of the 2022 Ambassador Theatre Group Playwright's Prize in association with Platform Presents.
The Joy Of Text
The world’s greatest actors performing the world’s funniest text conversations
Savoy Theatre, London, 25th April
We all have seen, read, (and screenshot) that funny, tragic or tragically funny text conversation on our phones. It might be an epic neighbourhood whatsapp drama about the recycling bins, or a toe curling apology after accidentally sending “Hey babe you up?” to your Mum at 3am.
