Synopsis:

Got a question about playwriting? Have a play inside you but struggling to put it on the page?

Aimed at beginner and intermediate writers interested in playwriting, this two- hour workshop features a brief introduction to a variety of plays across different genres. From William Shakespeare to Samuel Beckett, and Henrik Ibsen to Cake Theatre, we'll take a look at the defining characteristics of a conventional play, as well as some plays that don't fit the mould.

The workshop also includes a Q&A with the facilitator. Participants are encouraged to come with questions. It is not necessary to come with a script of your own for feedback.
