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!

The pink princess<br />
One day in a far away land there’s a princess called ‘Lana’.<br />
She is 17 years old and she’s a runaway princess. She wouldn’t normally do this<br />
but there’s a reason why she did it…<br />
Sometime later there was a knock on the castle door.<br />
“May I speak with the prince?’<br />
‘I am the prince, why do you ask?’<br />
‘Your sister went missing.’<br />
The prince runs up to her room and sees she’s no longer there.<br />
Before he left, he saw a black figure jump out of the window & swimming<br />
in the water, he jumps out of the window and leaps into the water following it.<br />
Sometime later the princess hides from her follower, she stares at the moon<br />
waiting for *him*. At 19:30 he comes ..<br />
He: Oh hey<br />
She: (quietly) What took you so long ?<br />
He: Sorry dear, the guards nearly caught me.<br />
She: Where?<br />
He: Where? What? May I ask.<br />
She: Where, did I ask?<br />
He is speechless.<br />
She: Well, I better go.<br />
He: Why?<br />
She leaves him with no words.
