THE OXFORD SAMUEL BECKETT THEATRE TRUST AWARD 2009

APPLICANTS

The successful applicant is likely to have had some professional theatre experience i.e. at least 2 or 3 fringe, or similar scale, productions behind them. They are expected to be at the stage in their career where they can demonstrably benefit from moving onto a fully resourced and funded production in a studio venue.

Those, who are or have been recipients of fixed-term funding, will not be eligible, neither will those in full time education.

Must be citizens of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland (namely, holders of a British or Republic of Ireland passport) and normally be resident in one of these countries.

Artists from all disciplines are encouraged to apply.

Shows with a previous production history (excluding R and D work) will not be considered.

'This award offers a very rare opportunity for a young and visionary theatre-making team to pursue and complete a project about which they are passionate. The Trust seeks out artists who are prepared to throw away the rule book in order to find the most vivid theatrical language for the stories they want to tell.' - Tom Morris, National Theatre.

If you are intending to apply for the Award please contact the Trust with details of any current or future work that they may see.
