We are running a free online playwriting course in winter 2020-21, specifically for writers based in Wiltshire and Dorset.

This 6-week course will provide an in-depth overview of the key elements of playwriting, including finding inspiration and generating ideas, building characters, structuring scenes, writing dialogue, and editing / re-drafting your work. It will offer participants the opportunity to write in a supportive environment, and the course will close with a session of professional actors performing extracts of work from participants.

Our courses aim to build writing networks within local communities – they are, therefore, open to participants within a specific geographical area. Our winter offering is for those based in Dorset and Wiltshire. We are, however, likely to run more courses in future – so keep an eye on our website or social media channels for updates, or join our mailing list to be the first to hear about upcoming opportunities!

“I have attended umpteen writing conferences, retreats and courses, and come across scores more writing exercises online, yet Papatango’s were fresh, insightful and highly rewarding.” Playwriting Course Participant.
