Do you know your rights as a playwright? Join WGGB Organiser Eleanor Dawson for an interactive workshop exploring how to understand contractual terms, how to spot poor practice and how to protect yourself and your play. This workshop will cover common questions, including:

What do I do if it all goes wrong?

How do I protect my copyright?

What should I be paid as a playwright?

How should I expect to be treated?

How do I navigate relationships with collaborators?
