DRAMA LAB 2024 is a playwriting workshop for young authors organised by Wiener Wortstaetten and led by author and playwright Bernard Studlar.
The creation of new texts for the stage has been the focus of WIENER WORTSTAETTEN’s work since it was founded in 2005, as has the artistic examination of socially relevant topics and networking between authors.
From over 50 applications, after intensive discussion among the jury, we decided on five play drafts that were exciting in terms of style and content, which will be developed into finished plays by the authors next year. We look forward to working with Hannah K Bründl, Maurus Jacobs, Kaija Knauer, Lena Riemer and Charlotte Zorell.
In addition, the Theater am Werk will accompany the creation of the texts as a ” Patentheater” and premiere one play in the 2024/25 season.
All the texts created will be presented in staged readings in Vienna as part of the “Wortstattnächte” in autumn 2024.
