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.

#TheatreReview: #Ghosts by #Ibsen at #ShakespearesGlobe 1h40 flew by! Very nicely paced and performed, not entirely convinced by the stage being covered in fur, and it must be a bugger to clean after every performance. Could have done with a #SatyrPlay after all of Ibsen's misery to lift the spirits.

Well, I had an absolutely wonderful day in London yesterday, taking in a Shakespearean double-bill.

I started off with my first visit to the main theatre at Shakespeare's Globe (having previously only been to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse) for an excellent A Midsummer Night's Dream. Positioned right at the front of the yard, it was a real privilege to see this company, and the nuance of their performances, right up close.
