Whether you’re totally new to playwriting or have many drafts in your drawer, this course will help you sharpen your ideas and turn them into theatre.

In this online course you will develop the practical tools and skills to write your play, supported by playwright Guleraana Mir. Through writing exercises, games and creative tasks you will find out how to create structure, character and drama.

Additionally you will also be supported throughout the course by a playwright/mentor who will run smaller group sessions where you can read your work out loud, receive feedback and put your skills into practice.

As part of this course you will also watch a recording of a National Theatre production.

Deadline 

Sunday 25 October. 

This year they have many fewer places available on the Young People’s Programme, and so are furthering their commitment to diversity and access by concentrating recruitment in three areas that we recognise have been most affected by the events of this year: young people of colour, young people from working class backgrounds and young people with disabilities.  If you have any questions about the application process or access needs please email youth@nationaltheatre.org.uk.
