'Playwriting basics' in NewsWrite

The current issue of NewsWrite, published by the NSW Writers' Centre, is all about writing for performance. There's an illuminating article by Timothy Daly on performative states, with insights into how to write for modern theatre. In my article, 'Playwriting Basics' I cover the fundamental skills you need to write a play. Thanks to editor Angelo Loukakis for making performance writing the focus of this issue - it's a hot topic!
