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!

and aas.<br />
SONIA : So you told them that she’s dead.<br />
Jimmy nods and says finally…<br />
JIMMY : Honey, these people are maniacs. We have to get Maria-Jenny as far away<br />
from them as possible.<br />

she’s gone,it’s much safer up there.<br />
JIMMY : I agree. Let’s talk to the kid.<br />
Stage lightens up. They go back to Maria-Jenny and start whispering. After a long<br />
discussion they come to a conclusion.<br />
SONIA : So after the doctor gives the all clear we will head to Canada. Now, Jimmy,<br />
you go home, pack up the suitcases with only the essential items and we’ll go, before<br />
they figure out that she’s still alive.<br />
JIMMY : Okay, let’s do this!<br />
