Playwriting Camp 2023
Fighting Words staff and volunteer mentors were privileged this year to work with a gifted, talented and fun bunch of 11 to 13 year olds! Over the course of five days working, we explored playwriting and helped these fantastic individuals to craft their own short plays from scratch. The work each author selected for inclusion is collected here. To all the young playwrights - keep writing all of you! We hope we work with you again soon!

By Evan Oglesby<br />
As Axle got up from his bed he realised it was<br />
criminal season, so Axle got fully black clothes<br />
on and rang Gitogleswas getting his firearms<br />
ready while Walter was hair-spraying his fur<br />
black. Axle drove over to Gitogles house by<br />
going through the teleport machine and<br />
picked up Gitogles opened the time wrap<br />
machine to bring them both back to when<br />
Axle left home. Axle speeded over to<br />
Walter’s tunnel at 150 mph going going<br />
over the speed limit! When Axle made it<br />
to the Walter’s tunnel, he brought Walter to the truck, and drove off to the bank.<br />
When they got to the bank, Gitogles kicked the door down and he saw guards and<br />
screamed: “Time for the BAD BOYYS!” And Axle quickly started to fire his harpoon gun<br />
and passed the magnum to Walter. Gitogles ran out and got his 5mgs and started to<br />
fire rapidly at the guards but they just kept on coming! WHO DO YOU THINK WINS!<br />
