Vincent Higgins' introduction to playwrighting

Continuing our summer workshops, Vincent Higgins offered some pearls of wisdom, captivating the audience with his insights into the craft of playwrighting.  Vincent offered a brief history of drama, from Thespes through Shakespeare, to Tennesee Williams and contemporary Irish writers.  After lunch he tackled structure and composition, challenging the participants to 'Get writing!' by the end.

  Many of the participants picked Vincent's brain, long after the workshop had finished. Feedback on the event was excellent, with many saying they enjoyed the format, length and structure of the workshop.
