Invent Theatre’s first ‘Young Writers Week’ was held from the 18th to 22nd August, an opportunity that allowed those involved to create their own monologues for performance. The course also saw a local writer, a short film maker and an actor/ director vist to give advise and support on writing for public perfomrance.
The young people involved each created a monologue which was performed at Ventnor Botanic Gardens at the end of the week. We will be posting pictures of the event in the next few days.
