DEATHSCRIBE 2010 Final Lineup

After months of reading, we have made our final decisions for DEATHSCRIBE 2010. Before going any further, we at WildClaw want to sincerely thank EACH AND EVERY author who submitted a script for this years festival. We are humbled and honored that so many talented, passionate people were willing to share their talent with us. This was the most competitive crop of scripts we've received to date, and we were very excited by the quantity and quality of horror plays we had the pleasure of reading.

Deathscribe 2009: The Second Annual International Festival of Radio Horror Plays Final Roster.

After 6 months of reading and writing, after nearly one hundred submissions, WildClaw Theatre is very excited to announce the final five DEATHSCRIBE 2009 Radio Horror Plays.

First, however, we would like to thank EVERYONE who submitted a script to DEATHSCRIBE 2009. We were delightfully overwhelmed with the number and quality of the submissions. In the end, we were upset that we could only present five, as there were so many wonderful scripts to choose from. It was a privilege to read these scripts, every last one of them. To all of those Dark Scribes who did not make the final five, thank you so much for sharing your stories with us, and keep writing. The more Dark stories out there, the better.

In the end, there could be only five scripts in the judged portion of DEATHSCRIBE 2009. After two rounds of blind judging and much discussion, all signs pointed to these five:

Bags of Blood, written by Daniel Caffrey, directed by Don Hall.

The Most Beautiful Woman in the World, written by Clint Sheffer, directed by Cecilie Keenan.

The Dust Gods of Dr. Gaul, written by Jude Mire, directed by Robert Breuler

The Skinny Man, written by Scott T. Barsotti, directed by Katie McLean

Remembrance, written by Chris Hainsworth, directed by Nic Dimond.

Congratulations to all the Death Scribes. We will see you all at DEATHSCRIBE, at the Music Box Theatre on October 5th.
