An annual playwriting competition for young people has been set up as a tribute to Walter Swan, the Playhouse’s creative development manager who tragically died suddenly and unexpectedly on Easter Monday.
The competition will be in Walter’s name, there will be a cash prize, a trophy and the opportunity for the winning play to be performed at Ilkley Playhouse.
The details of the competition will be developed and finalised over the coming weeks. If you wish to donate to the competition fund, please send cheques made payable to Ilkley Playhouse marked on the back ‘for the Walter Swan fund’.
The address is Ilkley Playhouse, Weston Road, Ilkley, West Yorkshire LS29 8DW.
An online fundraising page with a Gift Aid option will also be launched soon.
