After a delightful couple of sold-out evenings at the Space in London, Hepburn Hooks Theatre Co have decided to reconduct their inaugural event, "Brown Skinned Girls".
They are seeking out four female, BlPOC playwrights whose works they will fully produce and present at a London venue to be determined. HHTC is looking to hear stories from Black and Brown women (in the broad sense of the term). The plays may be set in any era, they may tackle whatever subject you desire, the stories may even not centre Black/Brown women at all!
Hepburn Hooks Theatre Co are quite simply looking to pick the brains of young, BIPOC female playwrights from all over the world and get a sense of how they feel about the world at large, or about very specific things in it. Let your imagination run wild, do not be afraid to be goofy, cringey, subversive and unapologetically militant, they want to see and hear it all!
The Merriam-Webster defines BIPOC as 鈥楤lack, Indigenous, (and) People of Colour鈥�. This must be understood as a term that includes people of the following descent : Black, Native American, Aboriginal Australians, Asian, Latinx, Middle Eastern, South-Asian, Pacific Islander, and many more鈥�
In order to submit to this opportunity, there is no set ethnicity or even skin colour you 鈥渟hould鈥� have. If in doubt, simply ask yourself those couple questions : Are stories like mine told on big stages nowadays? Are playwrights like me routinely produced? If you answered "no" to both questions, chances are you qualify for Brown Skinned Girls, even if your skin isn't the darkest shade of brown!
There is no entry fee for this opportunity.
