PLAYWRITING
P7 – S4
Tips, games and creative exercises to get
the ideas flowing: from mind to paper to
actors in performance. Exploring character,
plot and genres, each participant will be
supported in working on their own short
script. This is writing for fire and fascination
– perfect punctuation not a prerequisite!
At the end of the process the scripts will
be performed by actors on the stage at
Eastwood Park Theatre for an invited audience.

6:00pm – 7:00pm at Eastwood Park Theatre.
