Join Polly Tisdall, winner of The Kevin Elyot Award 2024, for a series of informal workshops at University of Bristol Theatre Collection. We'll drink tea, share who we are and what we do, and use Elyot's notes and plays to spark discussion about our own playwriting and theatre-making processes.

Workshop 2: Friday 9th May 5pm-7pm: Playtime 

We’ll explore scenes from Kevin Elyot’s 1998 play The Day I Stood Still and consider Elyot’s approach to time. How does he make use of his structure to intrigue his audience, and how can we, as writers and theatre-makers play with time in our own work?

Polly will share some live reflections and questions about structure from her own writing practice, and writers and makers are invited to bring their own structural struggles and questions for exploration in small groups.

Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. 

To book: please email Polly on pltisdall@gmail.com with the subject: KE Award Workshop (May) and state in the body of your email whether you consider yourself a playwright, actor, director, theatre practitioner or researcher.
