A workshop with writer Mike Bartlett and director Clare Lizzimore, free to ticket-holders for their new play, Snowflake, at the Old Fire Station in Oxford on 17 December.

Working partly through conversation, questions and answers, and practical exercises, writer Mike Bartlett (King Charles III, Doctor Foster, Press) and director Clare Lizzimore lead you through a process of how to understand the mechanisms of a play, and how to play them.

This workshop will focus on how to approach a play practically. How to harness your instincts as well as understand and deliver on the writer's intentions. How to break down a text and understand how the drama actually operates. How to create tension, how to understand ‘character’, how to navigate different ‘intentions’, and what a dramatic ‘action’, and an ‘objective’ actually is.

Monday 17 December 2018, 5.30-7pm
