Entry

Enter our competition to write your own Shakespearean Public Announcement - click here for full information on the project

To write or not to write, that is the question.
Ignite your mind, scribe it down and send us your suggestion!

Triple If.comedy Award nominee Russell Kane is busy writing some of the announcements but we’re looking for your creative input too. What sort of announcements do you hear whilst shopping, waiting for a train or even at the football? Imagine what they would be like if we all spoke English the way Shakespeare did… one example:

Here stops the Gateshead train at platform nine, 
Thou will find first class coaches down the line.

Some venues where Public Announcements will be broadcast for you to consider are Theatre Royal, Northern Stage, Metro Stations ...with existing announcements such as:

"Please take your seats, the show will commence in 5 minutes"
"Stand clear of the doors please"
"The next station is Haymarket"

Send us your ideas and if your announcement is chosen we will contact you to let you know where to listen out for your contribution!

Deadline: Monday 26th October 2009
