Playwrite is a 10 week course which guides writers through a structured programme looking at the immagination, landscape, character and plot. Participants share their work with the group and aim to produce a short play or first act of a longer play. Completed plays are then rehearsed with professional actors and given a public reading. This course is not currently available in the UK until 2012. Anyone in New Zealand interested in playwriting should contact Christopher Preston on christophern.preston@googlemail.com
Outwrite is a similar programme but taking place in schools. This programme will not be available in the UK until September 2011.
