Workshop
Whether it's from their own experience, based on true events or completely fictional, every story starts with a simple idea. This workshop with Wildcard's Co Executive Director and writer of EVELYN, Tom Ratcliffe, explores the different processes of generating ideas for new plays and aims to equip emerging writers with useful tools and exercises to explore and unlock this process.
Writers can be of any experience, whether beginner or established, as this 3 hour workshop (there is a break during the session) simply aims to share exercises and ideas about how to unlock and inspire the process of writing based on stimulus. Tom has a wealth of playwriting experience with ideas generated in a variety of different ways and through different processes.
What you need: a smart phone or laptop, a notepad and pen.
