What’s the Big Idea? Led by Oliver Emanuel

Playwrights' Studio Associate Playwright Oliver Emanuel (Flight, The 306 Trilogy) takes you through a story and ideas workout: how to generate them, crystallise them and talk about them.  

This will help in your own writing and re-drafting, and improve your confidence when talking to directors or potential supporters about the story you want to tell - and why you are the only person who can tell it.

Ideally suited for aspiring/emerging playwrights.
