Sydenham Arts Festival are looking for established playwrights, ideally with experience running workshops for events in early July

Open Until:

Posted: 06/11/2013


The workshop has ten free places open to new playwrights, who have been asked to submit a sample of their scriptwriting. The course will encourage these writers to each craft a ten-minute play to be performed script-in-hand by professional actors on Wed 10 July at The Hob in Forest Hill.  

The workshops run as follows:

Three evening workshops, Mon 1, Wed 3 and Mon 8 July (7.30-9.30pm) and an all-day Sunday workshop, where we are hoping to bring in ‘guest mentor’ playwrights between 11am-5pm on Sun 7 July. The venue for all workshops is the Sydenham Community Library.

There is a fee available. We can pay the course workshop leader up to £300 for the three evening workshops (£100 per workshop) and there is a further budget of £300 to pay up to 3 guest mentors on the Sunday. Here are the links to each workshop & the playwriting showcase that they culminate with:
