About

The Corn Mill Theatre is delighted to launch our Writing For The Theatre Workshop series with award-winning Playwright Deirdre Kinahan. Over three days we will explore the elements of being a playwright and provide opportunities for new and emerging playwrights to develop their own stories.
We have two events over three days, open to anyone in the amateur drama space.

Being A Playwright

Being A Playwright on Saturday 30th October, 2-7pm. Booking: €15
This will be an interactive afternoon with Deirdre exploring what it is to be a playwright. Members of The Corn Mill Theatre will perform three short pieces from Deirdre’s work to illustrate elements of scriptwriting. Deirdre will delve into the many elements of piecing together a script, including character development, plot points, themes, and production fundamentals.
A special guest will be interviewing Deirdre also and providing an opportunity for an interactive question and answer session.
Refreshments will be served. Attendees are also welcome to attend our showing of ‘Windows’, The Corn Mill Theatre’s One Act play on stage at 8pm, after the playwright event.
