This is not an exhaustive list – the Literary Journals below accept dramatic works in various forms, but many will state that they look at work “in any style” or “hybrid” works, and may also look at scripts in these circumstances.
Some charge reading fees, some do not – some pay for submissions, some do not. I've not marked these as details can change.
Please remember that these are not websites that publish anything sent to them – they are Literary Journals, both print and web based, and are selective. Always read the guidelines – and back issues or extracts if you can, so see if they suit your work before submitting.
Hope this list is of use...

Hope you guys found this of some use.
Nice work CJ. Looks good on my end. I see both the reply and edit options now. And thanks for the Feedback Loop. Looks like I have some scripts to read. Thanks a bunch. You're the best!
Wow Simon, this list is awesome! Thank you so much for your time and effort putting this together and for being considerate enough to share it with us. If this does not motivate someone to write and submit, man, I'm not sure what would.
Thanks again,
Fin
It could have been double the size but I got cramp in my hands!
I'd point anyone interested in this area to The Review Review site, they have a "drama" filter for searching, which is useful...
Thanks Simon! I'll check The Review Review site out too. And if that cramp goes away please, feel free to add more...:) I often have writers ask if I know of any places where they can submit their work so to be able to link them to this page is a huge help to me and I really appreciate it!
This is really good stuff. BTW, I watched the TV show yesterday about the life of Steve McQueen. Engrossing.
Good luck with everything; we all need a bit of that.
Best,
Chris C.
