The Royal Court’s Introduction to Playwriting group is a series of six weekly sessions where emerging playwrights work to develop their craft alongside their peers, facilitated by a leading professional playwright. At the end of the sessions, there is an opportunity to submit a first draft for feedback from the Royal Court’s Literary and Artistic team.
Who is it for?
Introduction to Playwriting is an opportunity for early career playwrights with raw talent and big ideas who wish to develop their craft. This may be your first time writing a play, or you may feel stuck as ‘emerging’ in need of the mutual support and structure offered by the group. You won’t yet be a professionally produced playwright.
Will the group teach me how to write a play?
We can’t teach you how to write a play. Introduction to Playwriting is not a course, toolkit or instruction manual, but a group which offers you an insight into the practice of one of our leading playwrights, alongside the structure of six group sessions and a deadline with guaranteed feedback. Introduction to Playwriting is an invitation to write courageously, with the support of the Royal Court and your fellow playwrights.
