Five weekly Monday sessions from Mon 1 March – 29 March, 7pm – 9.30pm. The sessions will take place over Zoom. Maximum class sizes are 14. A portion of spaces have been reserved for Share the Drama bursary places.
In this course, Natalie Mitchell will introduce and explore the basic elements of playwriting. This includes finding starting points and inspiration; creating characters; writing monologues; dialogue and subtext; and dramatic action. It will take the form of practical writing exercises, tutorials and script reading.
