PLAY HAVOC: IMPORTANT NOTICE

Donna's and Hilary's playwriting workshop weekend, a fundraiser for the upcoming production of We Are The Ghosts Of The Future, has been postponed to November 28 & 29.

Same time, same place, and same stimulating, energising and inspiring hours of fun!

Join acclaimed playwrights Donna Abela (‘Jump For Jordan’) and Hilary Bell (‘The Splinter’) for a weekend of wild and playful writing exercises, designed to open up your head, get out of your own way, and explore numerous entry points into creativity. With a focus on impulse, exploration, curiosity and surprise, you’ll leave with the beginnings of a brand new play, and the know-how to take it to a first draft. As a bonus, producer Stephen Carnell will provide inside experience on how to then get your play from page to stage.

To book a place, or for more information, contact Stephen Carnell.

About 7-ON

7-ON Playwrights was established in 2005 by Donna Abela, Catherine Zimdahl, Ned Manning, Noëlle Janaczewska, Vanessa Bates, Verity Laughton and Hilary Bell. Seven minds that don’t think alike but are simpatico in this—our belief in the transformative properties of our artform and its place in Australian culture. With over 200 plays between us, our work has been produced on stages across Australia. Internationally, we have been produced in Botswana, the US, the UK, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, Germany, Denmark, France, Canada, Vietnam, Korea and Japan. We have over 40 awards between us including: 14 Australian Writers’ Guild Awards, 4 Griffin Playwriting Awards, 3 Premiers’ Literary Awards, 4 Inscription Awards, an Adelaide Critics’ Circle Prize, a Phillip Parsons Young Playwright’s Award, a Wyndham Campbell Prize, a Centenary Medal, a Patrick White Playwrights’ Fellowship, and a Human Rights Award for Drama. As 7-ON we advocate for playwrights, initiate performance and publishing projects, and support and celebrate each other’s work. We create projects that are best served by a multitude of voices. These have included The Seven Needs (Griffin, 2007), Thus Spake Zarathustra (Wollongong University, 2008), Long Shadows (STC workshop, 2009), Platonic (Hothouse development, 2013), We Are The Ghosts Of The Future (Rocks Discovery Museum, 2015), and various works under the banner of Old Texts Revisited (ABC Radio, 2009), I Contain Multitudes (Novemberism Playwriting Festival, 2011) and No Nudity, Weapons or Naked Flames (MayDay! Playwrights’ Festival, 2013) which presented a selection of monologues from our anthology of the same name published by the Federation Press in 2012. We are also included in Currency Press’ anthology of short plays Short Circuit (2009).
