What is Online Short Cuts?

Online Short Cuts is a free online version of Live Theatre's in-house Short Cuts event. It provides a great opportunity for aspiring writers to share their scripts online where they can be read by a community of new writing enthusiasts across the UK and beyond.

February's script, Alphabet Soup by Pete Goodland, is now available to read in the Online Short Cuts forum. Please take a look over the script and feedback your comments to Pete. Scripts from 2011 are also still available to read in the forum.

If you are feeling inspired why not submit a script for next month's play? See 'How does it work?' for more information.
