It is organized by Interplay; an international, not-for-profit arts organisation for the furtherance of young playwrights aged 18 to 26.
The first Interplay Europe was held in 1995 in Mainz organized by the playwrights Antje Rávic Strubel and Tobias Rausch and Interplay Europe e.V became official in 1998, which was also in Berlin.
Participants from all over Europe discuss their plays for two inspiring, practical and creative weeks in classes, workshops, forums and events with experienced international tutors.
Interplay also supports international youth exchange and seeks to contribute to better understanding between nations.
