HOW DO I GET MY SCRIPT READ?

Dear Theatregoers,
I'm eager to have my script read by just about ANY theatre company that's willing. It's a finished, polished work - that has even had a public, rehearsed reading in a recent drama exhibition in Sydney.

I am now eager for it to go further.
Does anyone know of any innovative, flexible theatre companies that would read such a script. Or pehaps any competitions that I could enter.

Just for the record; - it is a short 2 ACT play, averaging 45 - 55mins performance length. And the genre is black comedy.

Please e-mail me with any info you may have - it is greatly appreciated.

Jenny.

I personally would like to see the whole one act festival being purely local/ australian premieres(why do it in half measures?) but i think it would take a little longer than the rest of this year for that to begin and I feel from next year would be a more reasonable alternative. The one act festival is the time to take a risk and having an original work in your one act season isn't that much more of a risk.

Draft a proposal? Is there interest from any other people out there? Sounds ambitious but if small steps were taken, beginning with a couple of companies showing some interest....
