37 Plays

In 2023, we marked the 400th anniversary of the publication of Shakespeare’s First Folio with 37 Plays, a national playwriting project to create a new folio of brand new plays.

We received more than 2,000 entries to 37 Plays and were astonished by the passion, ingenuity and truthfulness of the plays we received and would like to thank every single writer who submitted their play.
