In partnership with The Script Factory.

A two-hour workshop for playwrights and theatre practitioners who are based in the South West of England and are wanting to take the leap into writing for the screen.

Designed specifically for writers who are used to conceiving work for the stage, this workshop will illuminate the unique challenges and exciting possibilities of writing for cinema and give you the confidence to begin writing for the screen. Film offers a wealth of new creative possibilities, and this workshop will specifically explore how to embrace the new technical tools at your disposal whilst keeping true to your own writing voice.

For this workshop we will also be joined by Olivier and Tony award winning playwright Simon Stephens for an exclusive, personal conversation on the challenges of converting to writing for cinema.  Simon’s plays include Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night-time,  Port, Birdland, Lightfalls and Sea Wall.
