Is it easy to come up with ideas for a character or a story? Where can you look for inspiration?
Think about all the everyday things you do. Travelling to school, going shopping or eating in a cafe could provide you with all the material you need. In this short video, four playwrights came up with unique ideas for a play while travelling through Sydney on the 428 bus.
