Playwright Eve Leigh leads an interactive, livestreamed workshop on writing for gaming, discussing how the rules should change over the course of the game as the characters should change over the course of a story.
In this session, you will learn about building a creative universe with a distinctive set of rules, what the narrative consequences are when those rules are altered or transformed, and how to consider more broadly the real-world implications of rules breaking or changing, and how those real-world implications can affect game design.
£1 tickets are available for this event.
This event is part of our First Stages Festival - a celebration of storytelling and playwriting.
