Calling all #climate conscious #playwrights!
The Climate Playwriting Prize 2026 | Discover | Shakespeare's Globe
We believe that playwrights have a vital role to play in the conversation around the climate. Theatre is a space for animating audiences, forming communities, and experimenting with form; a space for processing the past, articulating the present, and imagining the future. Beyond the West End, regional and touring theatre is playing a vital role in engaging audiences.
This moment is marked by rising temperatures, escalating impacts of change on communities and ecosystems, but also by the unprecedented call to arms to storytellers at COP30 in 2025. The need for new stories that help audiences grapple with the realities and possibilities of this crisis has never been clearer.
In order to surface the breadth and diversity of new stories about this planetary moment, the Climate Playwriting Prize is an open invitation to playwrights to respond creatively to this subject matter. We are partnering with organisations all around the country to deliver workshops to writers, unlocking how they might want to tell their climate story.

I have to share this with you (paraphrased slightly) from the playwright notes I just read from the script “Doubt, A Parable,” by John Patrick Shanley*:
“It is Doubt (so often experienced initially as weakness) that changes things. When we feel unsteady, when we falter, when hard-won knowledge evaporates before our eyes, we’re on the verge of growth. The subtle or violent reconciliation of the outer person and the inner core often seems at first like a mistake, like you’ve gone the wrong way and you’re lost. But this is just emotion longing for the familiar. Life happens when the tectonic power of your speechless soul breaks through the dead habits of the mind. Doubt is nothing less than an opportunity to reenter the Present.”
*The script won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
