Writing Drama (WRT3105)
Semester 1 & 2 / 2016

Texts

Smiley, S. (2005). Playwriting: The Structure of Action. London and New Haven: Yale University Press.

Description

This unit will offer the student an opportunity to develop an existing strength in writing drama. The work of established writers in the genre will be the starting point for the workshops in which students will be encouraged to explore a range of subjects and styles in the development of their own writing. There will be an emphasis on twentieth century and contemporary, English-language drama, and, within that, on current Australian playwriting.
