HEDGE End’s Berry Theatre is to host a writing masterclass by award-winning playwright Mike Kenny on March 14.
The event will focus on writing for theatre and performance and will be a mixture of practical workshop and discussions.
Mike Kenny is one of England’s leading writers specialising in family and young people’s theatre.
He was included in the Independent on Sunday’s list of Top Ten Living Playwrights and his plays are performed regularly throughout the UK and all over the world.
The day also offers an excellent opportunity to meet like-minded writers and find out about new writing opportunities at The Berry Theatre, as well as the chance to develop as a writer. Tickets for the masterclass which is on from 2pm to 4pm are £15 and £10 for concessions.
A series of Marathon Writing Days are also planned and will take place at The Berry Theatre’s sister venue The Point, in Eastleigh.
These aim to provide much-needed space and time for writers to create new work for the stage.
Refreshments will be provided and industry professionals will be on hand to provide advice.
The sessions are planned for February 21, March 28 and April 18 from 10am to 4pm and cost £6.
