"The Women's Prize for Playwriting kickstarted my career as a writer in ways I never could have imagined. Immediately off the back of winning the prize, I signed with a wonderful agent, had many general meetings and got my play programmed." - Amy Trigg – REASONS YOU SHOULD(N’T) LOVE ME  (2020 Prize Winner).

Back in 2019, Ellie Keel approached us with an idea for the first women’s prize for playwriting. Four prize winners later, we’re still going strong and the fight to amplify women and non-binary voices on our stages continues 🏆 Give the prize a follow: @womensplayprize.bsky.social
