Top Scottish playwright Douglas Maxwell’s work has been produced in almost every theatre in Scotland, and across the world: Our Bad Magnet, a play set in Girvan, ran for over a decade in South Korea and is currently being staged in Tokyo in a Japanese translation.
His recent work includes the musical Orphans, Man’s Best Friend, and the BAFTA-nominated Fatbaws, with Peter Mullan.
During this interactive session, Douglas will be taking ten lucky participants through the process of writing a script for the stage, passing on the knowledge that he has accumulated over his illustrious career.
Those taking part will also have a chance to write a short script as part of the event.
