Playwriting Workshop – Days 29-30 – Curtainfall

We’re going to skip right to the ending now, playwrights. We know where we’re coming from and we know where we’re going. The rest should be a piece of cake, right?

Days 29-30 – Write your closing scene. This is the one that wraps everything up. How have your characters grown. Did your primary character get what he or she wanted? Was it worth it? Was the conflict resolved? Adapted from The Playwright’s Handbook, by Frank Pike and Thomas G. Dunn (Revised Edition, 1996).

Remember that this is just a first draft of your final scene. Don’t get bogged down with revisions. Just get through the scene.
