About

Established in 2004, NewPlays.org.uk formerly showcased the best new plays, playwrights, theatre companies and writing festivals.

Following a successful launch, NewPlays.org.uk is now number one for new plays in Google. Our growing popularity means that we constantly attract over 20,000 hits every month and we have also gained an increasing international presence.

The BBC have highlighted NewPlays.org.uk on air and online. In connection with Voices, their national language campaign, the BBC have linked to us several times. A BBC Radio interview, focusing on NewPlays.org.uk, has been broadcast worldwide on the Internet.

The positive response to us, both online and in the media, has resulted in Playbill Online, the World's most popular theatrical website, describing NewPlays.org.uk as "a quality, popular and easy-to-use site".

2011 saw a major revamp and relaunch of NewPlays.org.uk, following the decision to solely focus on the work of upcoming British writer James Dimelow.
