I was in a script workshop at the beginning of 2013, but it was specifically for movie scripts and since I was aiming to learn about dramaturgy it wasn't very useful. Is there any advice you could give to an amatheur theatre person who wants to start writing her own scripts? :3

Hmm, the only play writing class I had was a very bad experience. Let's see... Only have stage directions when you really need them for the plot, like "she loads the revolver and puts it in her purse" or "the spies swap briefcases and exit". You may think things like someone showing someone else a object seems important (and it would be in a screenplay), but in a play that should be clear enough from your dialogue, like "MARY: George, look, can you believe this [tabloid] article? That's not how it happened last night at all!" The story being shared by the characters is the important part, not the object. Obviously it should be established at the beginning of the scene that Mary's reading tabloids, but you can leave the specifics of how she engages George to the director.

Do you have any specific questions about dramaturgy or research?
