Start Your Play in a Day
DSW have been developing a number of exciting short play scripts
which came out of the event we hosted at Derby Museum a while ago.
The scripts have been in development since then and have now been
critiqued by the group and also been the focus of an intensive professional
workshop 'from page to stage' day in collaboration with actors from www.Rumpustheatrecompany.co.uk.
Huge 'thank you' to them for a great experience.
We're now ready to move on with the project and will be
collaborating with talented members of Ilkeston Theatre Company (http://www.ilkestontheatrecompany.co.uk/
to present an exciting programme of new writing in Erewash at a non arts
venue in 2020.
New Website for Derbyshire Scriptwriters
Time for a refresh! Thanks to James our webmeister for his
expertise, time and patience in creating our new 'easy on the eye' website and
we're loving our new contemporary 2020 style look.

Chrissie Hall DSW Chair will be teaching at Denman College Oxford

full programme of courses and retreats in 2020. Take a look at her

150th Birthday Celebrations!
Nothing to do with writing scripts, but everything to do with
having a great time at a party! Chrissie was lucky enough to be invited
to go to Dundee to join in the celebrations hosted by publishers D.C. Thompson
as the Thompson family, staff and guests marked the 150th anniversary of the
longest running publication in the UK, the iconic 'People's Friend' magazine in
grand Scottish style. Thank you - and here's to the next 150 years!
