We're delighted to announce our carefully curated longlist of the 100 most exciting, innovative, and compelling plays. Initially, our plan was to select just 75 plays, but due to the exceptional quality and creativity of submissions, we've expanded our list to include 100 outstanding works.

Among these exceptional plays, you'll find groundbreaking comedies, powerful dramas, and boldly experimental narratives. Each selection represents originality, theatrical vision, and outstanding storytelling.

A huge congratulations to all the talented playwrights listed—we celebrate your creativity, passion, and remarkable contribution to contemporary theatre.

Stay tuned as we move forward to announce our shortlist and final selections soon!
