About this Event
Are you curious about writing a script for theatre, TV, radio or film, but don’t know where to start? Or maybe you've written a bit, but want to drill down into what makes a brilliantly dramatic scene?
During this eight-week course, led by an award-winning scriptwriter, learners will explore how to write a great short script. Sessions will be delivered through creative writing exercises, reading scripts and discussion, in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. By week eight, you will aim to have written a short script you can be proud of.
No previous experience necessary. All welcome.
