Playsonthenet (POTN) is a website offering an unparalleled selection of theatre news and content. Along with our wide selection of theatre related books, plays, original plays, audiobooks, cds and dvds, we also provide emerging theatre artists with a much-needed home and platform from which to share their work.
What sets us apart from other online theatre communities is our commitment to new theatre artists. We provide an unprecedented opportunity for emerging playwrights to publish and share their work with professional and aspiring theatre enthusiasts, agents and producers. On PlayTalk, the online forum, the online theatre community consisting of new and established artists can connect, share opportunities and finally be heard.
POTN is a theatre information site, shop and a thrilling platform for unpublished writers. Because our site can be accessed from anywhere in the world, the exposure of each dramatic work submitted to the site is endless. Writers can submit their plays with no cost to themselves and readers from around the globe can access the work at a click of their mouse.
Traditionally, plays are published dependent on their marketability, and the notion of what constitutes a marketable play can be extremely limited. Putting on a play is an expensive and timely process. Understandably, producers are often reluctant to take a risk on a new work which doesn’t fit conveniently into the mould of the usual West End or Broadway production. There are no certainties about how an unknown play will be received. As a result, recognized plays by established writers are performed time and again. Meanwhile, new writers submit their work only to be rejected, or to never hear back from any publishers, often after having spent a great deal of money on photocopying, printing, and shipping fees.
We provide unprecedented opportunities for emerging playwrights to share their work with professional and aspiring theatre enthusiasts, agents and producers. Our website is where new and established writers from all over the world can finally connect, share ideas, and be heard. It’s a place to gain exposure, and allow your unique work to shine. Help bring theatre back to centre stage, and recapture its creative essence. If you’re as dedicated and committed as we are to reviving an art that has misplaced its direction, common relevance, and popular appeal.... look no further - the Write Revolution starts here.
