Glitter in the Dark competition
editFrom June - July 2020 the company producing The Beast Will Rise, Tramp Productions, ran a competition for actors to star in one of the monologues as part of the series. The winner would also receive a £150 cash prize.[4]
The competition was open to "Anyone graduating from a drama school or other acting training in 2020" and "d/Deaf and disabled actors at the start of their careers regardless of [actor training]".[5] Entrants were required to submit a footage of themselves performing a 1-2 minute extract of any of the monologues from that had been released up to that point.[6]
On 25 July Tramp Productions on their Twitter account announced that the winner of the competition was the 2020 Mountview graduate Yanexi Enriquez.[7]
