Short Tales 2025

Attention Playwrights!

Do you want to get your work produced?

Send us your short scripts for consideration!

Shakespeare in Paradise is once again looking for new plays for Short Tales 2025, a series of short plays to premiere at our seventeenth festival in September-October 2025.

  • Plays should be new, original works.

  • Plays should be no longer than 8-12 minutes in length. If you're using standard playscript format, this will give a rough running time of a minute a page, which means that your scripts should be about 10 pages long.

  • Casts should aim to involve no more than 3 actors. One-person plays are welcome! And of course, you can have more than 3 characters if you write a play in which actors play more than one role.
