Write Your Play

This 5-week intenstive playwriting course is designed to help you finally move from idea to action. Whether you’re starting with a vague concept, a character, a theme or a half-finished draft, you’ll be guided through the process of planning and developing your play in a supportive and structured environment.

Across the sessions, you’ll learn how to:

• Develop strong ideas for the stage
• Build compelling characters and dramatic conflict
• Shape the structure of your play
• Create a clear writing plan
• Stay accountable and keep writing

Weekly homework and writing exercises will help you make consistent progress between sessions, so you’re always moving your play forward.

At the end of the course, each participant will receive an individual 1 hour tutorial with course leader, Kimberley Andrews, discuss their work, tackle challenges and ensure they are on track to continue writing their play with confidence.

Perfect for playwrights who are ready to stop procrastinating and start writing! Whether it's your first play or your fiftieth, this is the place to come and get your play down on the page!
