One of the world’s leading ten minute playwrights, Alex Broun, will be running his acclaimed Ten Minute Playwrighting course from August 5th to 7th at Metro Arts in Brisbane.

Here’s some feedback from a recent course participant in Canberra: “Thanks so much for a fantastic weekend. I learned more than I expected and left extremely inspired. I’m guessing that you must have a lot of students who contact you, but I would like to share something with you: It was wonderful to have been in a room with writers, and to be free to write in the way you encouraged. It was an opportunity that I am extremely grateful for. Thank you so much.” Genevieve Kenneally, Canberra
