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!

SONIA : Emmmmm....<br />
Stage goes dark, spotlight centre stage on Sonia.<br />
SONIA : I have no clue! I should make up a name. What would I have named my<br />
daughter if I had one the same.<br />
Stage gets bright again.<br />
SONIA : It’s Maria, Maria Wozowsky.<br />
SCENE 3:<br />
Sonia is sitting down next to the hospital bed upstage right, “Maria” is lying down in<br />
the bed. She is hooked up to an oxygen machine and a heart rate machine that are<br />
both beeping loudly. The beeps of the various machine are unsettling towards Sonia.<br />
Jimmy enters downstage left and walks toward Sonia.<br />
JIMMY : Oh gosh, honey, this kid looks really sick, doesn’t she.<br />
SONIA : Yes dear, it is frightening how many machines she is hooked up to.<br />
It is making my stomach turn.<br />
JIMMY : Yes, honey. I can’t believe that they let you in here, usually they only let family<br />
come in.<br />
SONIA : Well... about that I....<br />
The doctor walks in, firstly only noticing Sonia.<br />
D1 : Hello, Mrs Wozowsky. How are you doing? I know this might be quite a scare for<br />
you....<br />
He suddenly notices Jimmy.<br />
