Join award-winning playwright Tina Jay for a one day workshop aimed at developing a range of dramatic writing techniques for creating your own short or full length play.
Areas of development to include creating strong engaging characters, the importance of realistic dialogue, and the central need for conflict. We will also look at how to help the play ‘stay’ with the audience after the reading/performance, redrafting and the problems of ‘over-writing’, and at how the play may be extended from a short play into a full-length play.
