Winsome Pinnock From Intimacy to the Epic

Thursday 18 April 6pm-8pm here on writeaplay! 

In this workshop we will explore the idea of the “big” play.  Using discussion, playtexts and exercises you will experience how your work is enhanced when it moves between the domestic and the epic.  Starting with character we will examine how “ordinary” people react to and are affected by huge political events.
