Description
There are infinite ways to tell your story, how do you find the right one? Playwright Kendall Feaver will take you through the nuts and bolts of traditional playwriting structure, then show you how playwrights have either used or destabilised this form for maximum meaning-making. Together, we’ll break open the structure of several radically different plays – all to inspire your own brave, bold and purposeful story-telling.
