ACCLAIMED Bradford theatre company Freedom Studios is set to host an eight week Introduction to Playwriting Course this Summer for aspiring creative writers who want to learn about playwriting. The theatre company wants to hear from interested applicants who must be 18 or over and with little or no experience of writing for the screen or theatre. Applications from writers based in the West Yorkshire area are especially welcome. The course will focus on the basics of theatre writing including character, story, structure, plot development, writing realistic dialogue and theatricality. It will be run by writer Lisa Holdsworth, a BAFTA-nominated television writer who has also written several acclaimed theatre productions including the Freedom Studios production of Black Teeth and a Brilliant Smile and the television series Emmerdale, All Creatures Great and Small, A Discovery of Witches, New Tricks and Waterloo Road. Lisa is also the chair of the Writers Guild of Great Britain.
