Emerging Playwrights
Emerging Playwrights is an exciting three-day training programme for emerging writers for the stage. This initiative was designed to nurture new talent by providing the skills, time, and support needed to create compelling, original short plays.
The Minack Academy performing commissioned ‘Play in a Day’ scripts
Led by a professional playwright the programme guides participants through the process of developing a treatment and writing sections of dialogue to write for commission. By the end of the course, writers present their works-in-progress to the Minack Theatre directors. The programme not only offers guidance and feedback but also includes opportunities to refine scripts by working directly with young performers.
Last years programme provided a unique chance for emerging writers to refine their craft, collaborate with others, and have their work commissioned by the Minack Theatre for season.
