About this Event

Do you have a passion for writing? Do you have an idea for a play but don't know where to start? Have you written a play and want to make it even better?

Join Tim Stimpson for this special FREE workshop, provided alongside BOLDtext Playwrights' upcoming show Gem of a Place, part of the Birmingham 2022 Festival. Using fun and easy exercises, you'll learn how to develop characters, structure narrative, and reveal theme. No prior experience is necessary; just an enthusiasm for telling stories. Oh, and you'll need something to write on too! Attendees will also be given discounted entrance to the Pen Museum.

Gem of a Place is a theatrical journey through the heart of the Jewellery Quarter. It tells various stories, including Birmingham's extraordinary legacy in pen production, a manufacturing revolution that spread literacy around the world. What better place to hold a writing workshop than the JQ's Pen Museum, which is housed in what was once a factory for making gold pens? The museum is fully accessible and easily reached by public transport. For more details visit: penmuseum.org.uk
