The Script’s The Thing was the title of the first Dorset Festival of Scriptwriting, held in Dorchester in October 2023. A second festival is planned for 2025, but smaller events are planned for 2024.
The Exchange is hoping to stage a taster event later this year to increase awareness of opportunities for writers based locally who write scripts for performance. The event would be open to anyone at whatever level of experience – even those just curious about the writing process for their favourite stage play, TV or film script.
It would showcase some script in-hand performances, and hope to inspire and motivate writers at all levels to consider submitting for the Festival in 2025.
If you write scripts – or would like to do so – or if you are simply curious about the process, please do get in touch with Robert Cowley to express your interest. You can reach him through The Exchange, by email [email protected] or 01258 475137. If we have enough interest we will make something happen!
