Course summary
The scriptwriting strand of our world-renowned MA Creative Writing has three core modules. Firstly, Dramaturgy, in which youll study the core conventions of drama as explored from Aristotle to McKee and as embodied in a range of plays, films, and TV programmes, from Antigone to I May Destroy You.Youll also take part in the Scriptwriting workshop, building upon your study of dramaturgical theory, where each week youll benefit from the scrutiny and feedback of your fellow writers and workshop leaders, such as the renowned scriptwriters Steve Waters, James McDermott, Ben Musgrave, and Sian Evans. Youll incorporate this theory into your own writing practice in weekly creative development workshops, completing scriptwriting and planning exercises. Over the course of the workshop, you and your fellow writers will bring your exercises to the group for discussion and evaluation.
