History and operations
The IPF was founded in 1986 by Steve Gooch and Ted Craig and was hosted by the Warehouse Theatre, a producing theatre in Croydon, South London, until the Warehouse Theater Company Limited went into administration in May 2012. The IPF acted to ensure its reputation and continuation and is now under the umbrella of a new company, Warehouse Phoenix Limited.
The IPF is held in two parts: the first is a competition with entries accepted from all over the world, which are judged by a panel of distinguished theater practitioners. The second is a celebration and a showcase of the selected plays, which is performed the following May.
The IPF has two international partners – Extra Candoni, Udine, Italy; and Theatro Ena, Nicosia, Cyprus, representing Italian and Greek new writing. There are also contributions from students from the BRIT School, a performing arts and technology secondary school in Croydon.
"Doing playwrights and the theatre at large a fine service". Jeremy Kingston, The Times 1990.
The 2013 IPF was held at Fairfield Halls in Croydon, on 29 and 30 June 2013, and the selected play, The Road to Nowhere by Sean Cook, was given a full production at the Ashcroft Theatre, a theatre within Fairfield Halls, from 2 to 5 October 2013.
Writers discovered by the IPF include: 1
