The Tower Reaches Top 10% of Submissions to Women’s Prize for Playwriting.

The Tower reached the top 10% of submissions in the 2025 Women’s Prize for Playwriting, following the highest number of submissions since the competition launched: 1275 submissions this year! The organisers of the competition have been generous enough to provide notes from the competition’s professional readers, with one reader noting, “Taut but witty dialogue, that knows when to hold back and when to go into poignant detail. It is a confident, controlled voice that offers a striking perspective on the world.” This is great news for The Tower and the competition as a whole is great news for women playwrights generally. Best of luck to those who made the longlist - the winner will be announced in December.
