Looking to get into writing for theatre?
In this six-week introductory course, we’ll be looking at the current landscape of theatre and examine a variety of approaches to writing for the stage. Through practical writing work, we’ll explore story structure, developing characters and narratives, monologues and more.
Designed as a social writer’s room space where everyone is encouraged to bring their different ideas, interests and perspectives, Writing for Theatre is a course where questions are always welcome and where you’ll be supported throughout in developing your voice as a writer.
Whether you’re already on a journey as a writer, whether you’re a creative who’s not yet explored writing, or you’re just curious about what theatre can offer, come join the writer’s room!
