Script Surgeries
This performance has taken place in the past
Playwrights! Have you written a full draft of a new stage play? Not sure what to do next? Sign up for a Script Surgery with director, playwright and dramaturg Kolbrún Björt Sigfúsdóttir. These hour-long one-to-one sessions are a chance for you to gain feedback, seek guidance, ask questions and most importantly, have a chat about your play. Participants will leave with a sense of how to reapproach their play text with an eye to further drafts as well as ideas on how to continue developing their playwriting craft.
Booking note: We understand that this is an exciting opportunity for playwrights and want to make sure that everyone has the chance to fully prepare and finish the piece they’re working on before booking. Script surgeries go on-sale at 11am on 10th January. If you are successful in booking a slot, you will then have until 17/01/23 to submit your full length script to creative@tron.co.uk.
