Playwriting (1) Polly Stenham



Just keep writing to get rid of the awkwardness of it. Get to the end, then start again. Don’t be afraid of the process. It’s like painting, as there’s a mess and a joy to it. Good writers are ruthless, so they don’t get vain. Inspiration, as a backwards explosion (i.e. things get sucked back into it).

Over the next few weeks, I capture episodes of the National Theatre: Playwriting series.  These are instrumental lessons, as I work at my play "The Room."  The above are my notes.
