The scripts for the shortlisted plays have now been forwarded to the 25 directors of the 2011 festival who will select the works they wish to direct and then move on to cast and rehearse them. The shortlist was cut down from well over 500 plays.
The list includes a total of 39 plays. 18 of these plays are from New Zealand (46%), 13 from Australia (33%) (where the parent festival originated) and 8 written by authors of other nationalities (21%). The directors will each choose from this list and those 25 plays are then combined with 15 ITC (Independent theatre company) submissions to create the 40 plays to be presented this year.

Hi!
Thanks for the write-up. I thought I’d let you know that Game On was selected for the top twenty and will be performed at the Herald Theatre (part of the EDGE complex in Auckland) on Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th July at 7pm, and on Thursday 7th – Saturday 9th July at 8pm. If it gets picked by the judges or the audience as one of the best three in that week, it will go through to the grand final on Sunday 17th July.
Congratulations Renee
this is good news indeed…I saw it on the short+sweet website…
could you fw me a copy of your script please for Game On.
I’m moving office this week so won’t get there 5th 6th 7th July.
Is it on both Fri 8th and Sat 9th at 8pm?
all best wishes
