With a little more than two weeks left to the deadline, you're probably starting to think of loads of little questions you'd love to ask, but are worried that it's too late.
Fear not, this Wednesday, May 28th, the Royal Exchange's Jo Combes, an Associate Director, Literary Director and coordinator of the Bruntwood Competition will be holding a live web chat from 12:30 to 2 pm, ready and willing to answer your last minute questions.
Have a question, but busy during that time? A full transcript of the web chat will be posted on this website, so if you have a question, either respond to this post or e-mail it to bruntwood@royalexchange.co.uk and we will ask it for you.
We hope to hear from you on Wednesday, good luck with your writing, and thank you to the many who have already entered some great scripts
Hi Jo -
I'd love to know more about the extent to which last year's winning plays changed between submission to the contest and their subsequent production,
I'd also be interested to learn what the quality was like in terms of last year's entries - without doing any of the shortlisted entries a discredit, how easy was it to choose the final three winners? Did all three stand miles in front of the others? How long were the arguments and how many people are in the room for the final vote?
Many thanks for your help.
Dear John,
I'll pass your comments along to Jo at our webchat tomorrow. Thank you for your questions- we'll post the answers after the chat.

Dear Sam,
It was taken down when we posted Ben's webchat. I'll put downloadable versions on the website as soon as I can, but please bear with us as we are very busy with competition entries.
