What is Writing Lab?
Writing Lab is a practical introduction course to writing for theatre.
You’ll develop your writing skills, focusing on all elements of playwrighting including character creation, world building and structure. You’ll learn a variety of techniques and approaches, developing your skills and gathering feedback from each other.
Writing Lab is an introductory course open to anyone 18+. No previous experience is necessary – just a sense of curiosity.

– Explore writing characters and dialogue through a variety of techniques
– Learn about different play structures and how to build the world of a play
– Gain understanding into the writing process of a full play, from conception to completion
– Share some of your own writing and gain valuable feedback from the group
– Develop your theatrical tool kit & increase your confidence in playwriting

The course will run on Wednesday evenings from 7:30pm – 9:30pm from 8th July- 5th August.
