This highly practical weekend workshop will not only cover essentials of writing for the stage, like the anatomy of structure, building dynamic action, character development, creating motivation and subtext, writing strong dialogue, dealing with exposition, script rewrites and hitting deadlines, but will also give an overview of the production process. This will include the writer’s role in the rehearsal room, the relationship with the director, actors and creatives, and explain how ‘selling’ documents such as script proposals, story outlines and pitching treatments are created. Participants will aim to complete their own 10-minute theatre script, and the course will culminate in a staged reading of the scripts.

Participants will be selected on a first come first served basis so please book your place as soon as possible, as competition will be fierce! Spaces are limited to 15.
