I do hope, "the plays will be read by three people who will approach the task from different perspectives." as you say. Good luck with it all. Well thanks for answering my questions Mark.

To address each of your questions (which are all good and worth asking) "Will these people be able to submit plays?" Anyone who meets the criteria described on the site may submit a play. "Will they be assessing their own work?" Again, only one person from that group will be on the panel of three who will assess play. The other two assessors will be from the TTC and from the wider theatre industry. Assessors may submit a play, if they meet the criteria like everyone else, however no assessor may make recommendations on their own work. "Will they be reading the works of their fellow collective members?" In a small writing community it is almost inevitable that an assessor will consider the work of someone they know in some way or another. Please do remember that in the submission guidelines we ask very clearly that all copies of plays submitted are not marked anywhere with the writers name - to insure that plays are assessed anonymously in order to protect submission from any bias. Thanks again for your questions. M. Hi there.

Playwrights Anonymous is a collective of Hobart based theatre writers. As we note above, the plays received will be assessed by a "...panel of three readers (a representative of the Tasmanian Theatre Company, a representative of Playwrights Anonymous and a representative of the theatre industry.) So the plays will be read by three people who will approach the task from different perspectives. The TTC makes sure that all assessors are suitably experienced and that their assessment of plays adheres to the criteria and process outlined above. I hope this encourages you to submit a play of your own and addresses any concerns you may have had. M. Hi ‘anonymous’ and thanks for your question.
