Bank of Ireland Theatre, O’Donoghue Centre, University of Galway / €65
Book NowIn this workshop, we will examine the short story from three angles: starting out, the gooey middle and the editing. Through discussion, close readings and in-class exercises, we will figure out what makes a story tick, reframe how we view a story’s intention, and learn how we can tighten our own work.
