SLOUGH WRITERS DRAMA WORKSHOP

Kathryn, Mike and Paul presented an introduction to the Slough Writers Drama Workshop on 11th February and this page supports that evening by making material available for those taking part in future workshops. This is intended to provide a resource for futher thought rather than a blueprint to playwrighting. In fact some of the papers offered here contradict each other which we hope will create debate rather than confusion.

Below are a list of links to documents and a brief summary of each document. Fell free to download anything you want. Also, please contact Mike if you have information that may be added to these pages.

The views expressed in these pages are offered for information and do not represent the policy of Slough Writers.Where possible the pieces have been credited.

THE PLAN
This is an email circulated my Mike earlier this year outlining the proposed workshop.
