This is an extraordinary thread for playwrights. Check out all of the opportunities listed below and thanks you @WAPtheatre for instigating it

[Anna Jordan @WAPtheatre]

Want to give my (London-based) writing students info about where to send their theatre scripts. I know @theatre503 has great opps & I know the big comps - but update me please! Where can they get their work read and possibly performed? Scratch nights / new comp / schemes. THANKS

The withdrawal of the opportunity to apply for direct funding through the Creative Scotland Open Fund for Individuals will deprive the majority of playwrights in Scotland the means to work and destroys any sense that their work is valued by those who fund our culture.

It’s been incredible feeling the love from the #edfest audience for the beautiful #playfight by ⁦@jugrogan⁩ with ⁦@gdicksonprods⁩ #roundabout ⁦@painesplough⁩ ⁦@Summerhallery⁩

[Emma Callander @emmacallander]

@TheTabbyLamb your plays mean so much to so many people. I remember directing an actor in one of your monologues for their drama school showcase and they had an extraordinary experience, saying it was the first time they felt seen in the industry.

[Emma Callander @emmacallander]

@MissKimAllan Ah Kim! So glad you’ll get the chance to see it!

[Emma Callander @emmacallander]

It’s been a while since I’ve been on Twitter, the wild west of this place got too much for me, but seeing all the positive love shared for shows in Edinburgh has been so beautiful to see. It’s tough to get a show on here and seeing everyone supporting each other is lush

@SalisburyCJ @TheatreUncut @painesplough @Summerhallery Thank you SO MUCH! That really means a lot to hear that from you x

Once when I was young, around 8 or so, we had a garage sale. My siblings and I were killing time riding our bikes along the sidewalk and this guy stopped in. But he wasn't there to buy anything.

He went up to my mom, introduced himself and said he'd stopped because he saw us...

My 7yr old this morning “there’s no space to be unique at school, they just want us all to be the same” the perfect critique of the current education system. Say it how it is!

20 years ago a drunk, angry woman came at me with a broken bottle in an alley behind Broughty Ferrry Safeway’s. I calmed her down and said you are a wild animal but you have the quick wits of a street cat. Let’s hear more from the cat. That woman was Liz Truss. Rest is history.

This news won’t make Back to School headlines today, but it ought to be everywhere: Under this gov, a child born on 5th September 2006 can, if taken into care tonight, be placed in a hostel, caravan/barge with no guaranteed adult supervision. And their 15-year classmate, who is
