TALOS IV: Science Fiction Theatre Festival of London
Call for Short Plays
TALOS IV: the original Science Fiction Theatre Festival of London will take place 15-21 June 2020 at the Cockpit in London. In addition to its main programme of curated full length productions*, the festival is seeking submissions of short plays with science fiction elements.

The scripts will be considered for play readings and performances during the 2020 festival, and should be submitted as a PDF attachment to talosfest@gmail.com
Please include a short bio and a synopsis in the body of your email. Please put SCRIPT SUBMISSION: [PLAY TITLE] by [AUTHOR] in the subject line of your email. One submission per writer please. If your submission is accepted, you should hear back by the end of March.
