Playwriting Camp 2023
Fighting Words staff and volunteer mentors were privileged this year to work with a gifted, talented and fun bunch of 11 to 13 year olds! Over the course of five days working, we explored playwriting and helped these fantastic individuals to craft their own short plays from scratch. The work each author selected for inclusion is collected here. To all the young playwrights - keep writing all of you! We hope we work with you again soon!

Susie is limping through the derelict remains of a town, sweating heavily in the arid<br />
weather, bleeding at the leg from the fight with mechi.<br />
S can’t huff huff last, pant much longer<br />
She Clambers through an exploded window, but her legs give out and she falls to the<br />
ground, groaning in pain.<br />
S he cough cough h-help me<br />
Susie touches her head and when she looks at her hand she sees blood<br />
S NONONONONONO p-please help m-me<br />
Her vision fades to black…<br />
Later she wakes up in a bright room with a light shining in her eyes<br />
S: where am I<br />
Captor: shut up robot trash,<br />
S: I’m not a robot, and who are you<br />
C:I decided shut it machine<br />
S: I swear I didn’t do anything, I was attacked by a robot, just look at this cut on my<br />
leg!<br />
She looks at her leg the cut is gone.<br />
C: (Mockingly) Cut on your leg liar, when we found you you were fine!<br />
