2024 Papatango Prize Shortlist

From an astonishing 1,589 scripts, we are thrilled to reveal the shortlist of the 2024 Papatango New Writing Prize.
Hannah Doran – The Meat Kings! (Inc.) of Brooklyn Heights
Noga Flaishon – Memoriam
Daniel Grimston – Corpselight
Patty Kim Hamilton – Peeling Oranges
Rhys Warrington – Monument
From a Welsh village reeling from tragedy to a Korean-American family picking up the pieces in small town Oregon, from a future that sells people’s memories to a remote farm haunted by the past to a bustling butchers cutting through present-day politics, these plays represent hugely ambitious, mesmerising stories.
Keep your eyes peeled for the announcement of the winner – which we will co-produce with London’s Park Theatre and publish with Nick Hern Books in 2025.
