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!

SCENE 8<br />

Back in the hospital, it’s morning, it’s turned light. Jimmy walks in and sees Jenny/<br />

Maria sitting up in the bed, Sonia sitting beside her a smile from ear to ear a tear in<br />

her eyes<br />

SONIA : Look, dear, she’s out of the coma! Isn’t it amazing!<br />

JIMMY : Yes dear but there’s something I have to tell you. I went to her parents<br />

and…<br />

JENNY/MARIA : NO! DON’T SEND ME BACK THERE! They are horrible<br />

people : they steal, they lie, they even killed my puppy Nobby! Don’t send me back<br />

there! Please don’t!<br />

JIMMY : Don’t worry ,honey, you won’t be going anywhere near them as long as I<br />

live.<br />

The doctor enters from downstage left, he has a smile on his face.<br />

D1 : Oh Maria! How wonderful it is to see you awake!<br />

MARIA/JENNY : Thanks doc! It’s good to be awake.<br />

D1 : You look pretty good! We just have to run a couple more tests to make sure and<br />

then you’re free to go!<br />

MARIA/JENNY : Awesome!!<br />

SONIA : That’s amazing news! Thank you so much Dr Adams!<br />

Doctor Adams exits the stage.<br />

JIMMY : Honey, can I talk to you for a minute?<br />
