Perhaps you have a story to tell, or maybe you’re interested what thinking goes in to developing a professional script. This course will introduce participants to the wonderful world of playwrighting… including, how drama is structured, the best approach to developing dialogue and characters and how to create a compelling plotline which is suitable for the stage.
