New Writing

Do you write?

The Dilys Guite Players (DGP) aim to give all people something positive to do and encourage them to develop new skills and interests.  We believe that talent is all around but opportunity is often not. So we pride ourselves on offering unique benefits that many theatres often don’t, and give more expansive approaches to theatre that inspires our community to value themselves, to think big and to believe in succeeding.

​

We invite talented writers or individuals to submit their wonderful entries, which we can then build our festivals and digital programmes around, and provide a fantastic opportunity for people to see your work performed on stage or through YouTube.
