How do writers get stories on the stage? How do new scripts get into production? This course looks at what happens when local stories by contemporary writers go into production.

Learning activities are aligned with industry practice to prepare you for participation as a well-informed listener, spectator and creator. The aim is to learn how contemporary productions bring local stories to global audiences. This course is part of the Theatre and Performance Studies stream.
