So true... 'a play is never complete', but I too don't see anything necessarily wrong with that. @BushGreenLive @WiTAward @Out_of_Joint https://t.co/kcl4bZcy4B

We have 222 plays to read :)

Very pleasing in our inaugural year. If yours is one of them, thanks for entering!

We’ve received ten plays in the last HOUR alone!

Impressed at how many of you are out there making the time to write! Bravo.
