Can you tell us a story in ten minutes?
During this course, you’ll write a ten minute, two-hander play on the theme of ‘The Seven Sins’. Each week. you’ll develop your script through feedback from other playwrights, as well as being called upon to provide constructive criticism for others. Your work will then be assigned actors and directors and you will build towards a final showcase performance, to be staged in our professional venue in front of a live audience.
Everyone is welcome regardless of where they're at in your writing journey and any (or no) experience you may have. You'll be developing your script through feedback from other playwrights, each session will focus on different elements of storytelling. What's more, you'll be able to 'test run your material with actors and directors in week six, before building to a final showcase performance to be staged on the OSO Stage.
