An active interrogation on the mechanics of playwriting, this course will creatively examine the use of dramatic action, character, location, narrative and structure in the making of a play.  This course is useful both for playwrights at the beginning of their career and for writers who have written one or two plays and are looking to develop their craft.

Simon Stephens has written over twenty plays that have been produced all over the world.  These include Port, Pornography and the adaptation of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime. He won the Laurence Olivier Award for best new play.

Lucy Kirkwood is a writer for stage and screen. Her plays have been performed at The Royal Court, The National Theatre, the West End, and up an alley in Dalston.

Laura Wade’s plays include Posh (Royal Court and Duke of York’s Theatre, West End), Breathing Corpses (Royal Court), Alice (Crucible Theatre, Sheffield), Other Hands and Colder Than Here (Soho Theatre).  Laura Wade’s plays are published by Oberon Books.
