So many of our theatres are now taking the opportunity to use the creativity of their members to develop plays developed in house, with the advantages of control and no license fees to pay!
This day workshop is intended to help those who are going to be writing for the first time but also to give advice to those who’ve been doing it a while.
Cost for each participant – £40 including sandwich lunch. The PDF of the day’s programme is HERE if you would like to share it to your theatre’s members. The deadline for the acceptance of bookings is Saturday 14 March.
There are 20 places available so send your booking or enquires to contact Ali Warren at nononsensedrama@gmail.com and further information will follow.
