The 9th Women Playwrights International Conference takes place in Stockholm, Sweden 15-21 August 2012.  Women writers are invited to submit play scripts for the event.

The conference 2012 will be hosted by Riksteatern in Stockholm, Sweden. The overall theme is 'The Democratic Stage',

The organisers estimate that 400 delegates will attend the conference and will put much effort into giving women from other lingual areas than English the opportunity of attending. Approx. 100 scripts will be presented at the conference.

We ask for scripts within these six themes:

• The individual and society


• Sexuality


• War


• Social equality and poverty


• Work and career


• God/divinity

The conference is an opportunity to meet, to build networks, to create genuine, lasting contacts between women playwrights and theatre professionals. Our aim is to have a supporting impact on cooperations and to build bridges between people from different parts of the world.

For all details of how to submit - see website.

Deadline to send details (NOT the full script at this stage): October 1 2011
