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!

P1: Call the ER, tell them to prepare ICU right away. She’s not breathing! Get the defibrillator!<br />
SONIA: Oh, dear! She looks as if she hasn’t eaten in weeks.<br />
JIMMY : She’s ghostly white.<br />
CAB DRIVER : She looks like just a kid, maybe 15.<br />
More people enter the stage.<br />
NB1: What has happened?<br />
NB2: What is going on?<br />
SONIA : Does anybody know this girl?<br />
NB1: I have only seen her house. The curtains are always shut.<br />
P1 : We have to get her to the hospital!<br />
The ambulance races off the stage.<br />
SONIA : Oh dear, I have to follow her. It doesn’t seem that she has any family to care<br />
for her.<br />
JIMMY : Okay, honey, but I have to go to work soon so you will have to go on your<br />
own.<br />
SONIA : Okay, they peck on the lips, bye love. SCENE 2<br />
Sonia enters upstage right. The hospital is packed with people, machines beeping.<br />
