The programme has been used at Alexandra Juniors, Sydenham High, Eaton House the Manor and other schools in London. We use games, writing prompts, Shakespeare extracts and regular weekly performances their work to fully engage students and set them off on the path to be a playwright.
The conclusion of 12 weeks (which should be extended to 16 weeks for editing and practice performances) should result in each student having completed a 10 minute play or scene. They can, and it is encouraged, that they submit this to Young Writer’s Programmes (ages 14-16) at the Royal Court Theatre, the Young Vic, the Albany Theatre Young Creatives and various other programmes aimed at young adults in London and across the UK.
