These plays will be cast, directed and staged in our Spring production, “New Developments III”, where the audience will vote for their favourite play and decide the winner of the competition.

Again, if you submitted a play but were not selected this time, I hope the feedback we sent was useful. Most importantly please keep writing, honestly all the entries were well put together and in another forum we could produce them all.

If you want to know more about this exciting competition or even be part of the production, keep an eye out for the call to auditions or drop us an E-Mail at info@dubaidramagroup.com and check out the Up-Coing Events Page for details of the Auditions.

Drawing on the success of this competition, started in 2009, Dubai Drama Group has launched its third annual playwriting competition, ‘Write Now! III’.

The purpose of the competition is to reach out to find talented and promising writers from every corner of the country. Previous years have seen a very high number of entries from a range of ethnic backgrounds, including Emirati writers. Building on the success of the first year, last year again saw an exceptionally high standard of entries and once more Dubai Drama Group was able to produce and perform eight of the best pieces for the public.
