503Studio Masterclass: Expressing and Utilising Theatricality in your Plays, Mathilde Dratwa

What makes your play a play, rather than a short story, a film or a TV pilot? What does theatricality mean and how can it heighten your writing? In this class, we will discuss the possibilities of live performance, explore the difference between realism and truth, and do some practical exercises together that (hopefully!) prove that limitations can be your friend.
