Through case studies, analysis and practical exercises, we will explore together how ancient and modern theories of dramaturgy can inform and revitalise your own writing.Whether you’re an aspiring writer, a veteran of the pen, a film buff, or simply someone looking to deepen your understanding of the stories that make us laugh, cry and think, and “Drama Digest and ” opens its pages to you in the hope of offering you the keys to unlock the secrets of stories that endure and captivate.Get ready for a journey through the ages, exploring how the art of storytelling has evolved and how, armed with this knowledge, we can all become more skilled storytellers, creating tales that will in turn find a place in the collective imagination of generations to come.Let’s embark together on this epic journey through the art and science of drama, and discover how stories have the power not only to reflect our world but also, potentially, to shape it. and “Manuel Meira
