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 fox and the pigeon<br />

Characters:<br />

Narrator<br />

Pigeon<br />

Fox<br />

Setting: Dublin<br />

Narrator: A long time ago in Dublin there was a cruel fox. All the animals were scared<br />

of the fox. The fox would brag about it’s soft fur and beautiful tail. One day the fox<br />

was looking at an apple in a tree and spotted a pigeon.<br />

Pigeon<br />

Hello. I have never seen a creature like you before.<br />

Fox: Hello you hideous creature. Fly up and get that apple for me.<br />

Pigeon: And why would I do that?<br />

Fox: So that I don’t eat you.<br />

Pigeon: OK<br />

Narrator: The pigeon flew up and grabbed the apple in his beek.<br />

Pigeon: Instead of giving it to you I am going to put it at the top of the tree<br />

Fox: Why did you do that? Do you not respect me?<br />

Pigeon: No, there is another that I respect. I can take you to him, if you please.<br />

Fox: Take me to him now!<br />

Pigeon: OK I will take you there.<br />

Fox: Why have we stopped at this riverbank?<br />
