Make it count! by James Sweeney

Coming in February, we have a new script by James Sweeney in production! Make it count, a multi-award-winning 90-minute, three-character comedy-drama that received a sold-out premiere run. He’s also the writer of Life Debt, an international award-winning feature film screenplay. A staged reading of MIC will take place at Langham Court Theatre in Victoria, Canada, on September 12th 2026.There will also be a reading at Copenhagen Theatre Circle, Denmark, on October 14th 2026.A full production of MIC will take place in Hungary during February 2027-March 2027, with the Budapest English Theatre. James was selected for New Perspectives’ 2026/27 New Associates programme and is developing his next stage plays: The Last Next Time, Thirty-Eight Times and The Imposition. He also writes for film and television, creating bold, emotionally layered work with elements of black humour.

BET will produce a fully staged production. The venue and final dates are to be announced soon, but we will be performing this production in a theatre on the “Pest Broadway”, Nagymező utca (If the theatre gods smile upon us!)

The production will be directed by Robert Cogo-Fawcett. The creative will be our own BET team with an original, new design for the Budapest run of this production. Auditions will be announced mid October 2026, so keep an ear out for the call!

Lastly, there will be another production slotting in during the winter months visiting from Austria, but more about this one later!

All the best, Izak.

    I am writing to express my interest in auditioning for Make It Count. I have around six years of theatre experience and have participated in six stage productions, taking on different roles and gaining experience in character development and storytelling. I have also had opportunities to act in short films. Currently, I am pursuing an MA in Film Studies at ELTE University in Budapest.

    I would be grateful if you could let me know when auditions will be announced and whether there will be an opportunity for me to participate.

    Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
