Writing a Full-Length Play;

Building on Playwriting Fundamentals

Designed for playwrights who have completed a play or completed NFT's 'Mastering the 10-minute Play' class.

Students will focus on developing and writing one full-length play from beginning to end, moving from initial idea and premise through character development, dramatic action, structure, and dialogue to a completed first draft.

Your goal:

A completed first draft—not a finished or fully revised play.
