Please could you send me full details?
EDIT: Since you're new... I'm the admins! We usually prefer people to get to know other members and get a flavour for the forum before posting things like this.
The people who are doing the adjudicating, are they qualified in this area, and what are their qualifications?
Who will be making up this international online audience? How will they see the shortlist?
Under what conditions will the shortlist be shown- a studio setting/theatre setting/hall?
That brief is just too vague...
Thank you for your feedback.
Based on this and some other people's comments I've talked to the team at Firesale and we've decided to waiver to submission fee for users of talkback writers forum for all scripts submitted before 31st January. Just email your script(s) to firesaleproductions AT gmail DOT com stating that you use talkback writers forum.
In terms of the other questions the adjudicators have between seven and twenty five years in theatre directing, acting and of course writing.
The online audience will be made up of a sampling of people involved in theatre around the world. They will be viewing a recorded version of the live theatre performance.
I hope this answers your questions.
You might find it helpful to add the detail about the qualifications of the adjudicators, etc on the website page, as that will reassure potential entrants...
Good luck with it.
I feel terribly guilty about all the bad thoughts I was having when I first read the post, thinking it was a scam an' all, and that Firesale would burn my fingers
I'm just unutterably sorry, now, that I don't write plays...
Best of luck.
The genuine, legitimate organisations will respond to questions and clarify issues which reassures, as Firesale Productions has done here.
Also Claudia you've picked a great place to move to. Lots going on in terms of theatre, music and writing. Also lots of places to go for inspiration.
I know! I'm really looking forward to it... just waiting for our house purchase to go through, but it's going to take a while. :)

Thank you :)
I've cycled. I kissed the Blarney Stone as well. Bet you did too, dorakins. ;)
Me too!
I wonder if we could.
If we really tried...
Yes, we had a fab time in that part of Ireland. Lovely people!

Not considering a Blodwyn-Mollusc joint production are you, TN?

Well that's certainly different, but is it art? :)
Actually, as it's based on fact, it comes under the heading of a drama documentary.
Never! ;)
You're on your own with that one!
Well worth having a go. Thank you for posting up this opportunity.
Oooh oooh (thought I'd continue the rhyme).
Well, hopefully between you, you'll bring back a first and second for the TB mantelpiece!
Facebook site still there.
