Creating a Drama Script
Let’s recap on literacy skills from
Junior Cycle. In Junior Cycle English,
you studied 1 or 2 short drama excerpts
as well as a full Shakespearean Drama.
Revise your drama script writing skills
by completing this mini drama writing
activity below. Choose your preferred
option.
Extension activity: Record your mini
drama script as a One Act Radio Play.
Option 1:
The heart-warming Debs episode in Season 3 of ‘The Young Offenders’ has been
hailed as its best episode to date amongst the Twitterati. The Irish coming-of-age
comedy drama will hopefully return for a fourth season to our screens. Write Scene
1 for the opening of Season 4. Where are the Conor, Jock, Siobhán & Linda? what
are they up to now? You may use some or all of the characters listed above.
Option 2:
Choose any minor character from ‘Blood Brothers’ and write the opening of a spin
off drama in which this character is the lead protagonist.
You must use the format and style conventions of a drama script.
Please study the example below.
