Have you ever thought “I have a great idea for a play, but I don’t know where to start?”. This workshop focuses on the building blocks of dramatic writing. Using the classic texts of Hamlet and Death of a Salesman as examples, participants will be engaged in an active discussion about narrative structure, plot, character, conflict/crisis, dialogue, and theme among many other topics. This workshop is intended for all beginning and novice playwrights, or anyone looking for a refresher, or a greater understanding of what it takes to write a play. Hone your skills and discover more about the art & craft of playwriting.
THIS CLASS WILL TAKE PLACE IN PERSON AT THE ALEXANDRA WRITERS CENTRE SOCIETY
