Freedom Studios offer free playwriting course with award winning writer Lisa Holdsworth

Bradford theatre company Freedom Studios is offering an eight week Introduction to Playwriting course this summer aimed at people with little or no experience of writing for the screen or theatre.

The course will focus on the basics of theatre writing including character, story, structure, plot development, writing realistic dialogue and theatricality.

The course will be run by writer Lisa Holdsworth, a BAFTA-nominated television writer who has also written several acclaimed theatre productions including the critically acclaimed Freedom Studios production of Black Teeth and a Brilliant Smile.

On television Lisa has written for Emmerdale, All Creatures Great and Small, A Discovery of Witches, New Tricks and Waterloo Road. She is also the chair of the Writers Guild of Great Britain.

“We are excited as always to hear from local people who might have little or no experience in writing a play but would like to give it a go,” says Aisha Khan, Co-Artistic director of Freedom Studios. “In the past year we know lots of people have turned to notebooks and started writing and we can’t wait to see a whole host of new stories and characters come to life under the amazing tutorship of Lisa.”
