About this deal
As a direct result of the course, I have now begun the development of a script that will serve as part of a long-term audience development project to increase engagement with underrepresented audiences. The course takes place over five monthly sessions and covers the key elements of playwriting: finding inspiration and generating ideas, building characters, structuring scenes, writing dialogue, and editing and re-drafting. It aims to build writing networks within local communities and culminates in a rehearsed reading of extracts of participants’ work by professional actors for local audiences. Our playwriting course is for writers with limited or no professional experience, who wish to hone their playwriting skills and write in a supportive environment.
