This year’s Alfred Fagon Award is seeking submissions from playwrights of African or Caribbean descent who are resident in the UK. Established in 1996, the Award was set-up to commemorate the life of the late Jamaican playwright and actor, Alfred Fagon. The winning playwright will be awarded £5,000 and a staged reading of the play, which, this year, will take place at the Cottesloe, the National Theatre.
In its 13-year history, the Award has supported some of Britain’s best Black playwrights. For more details on the Award and how to enter, please go to www.alfredfagonaward.co.uk.
