Masterclass: Torch The Page With Benjamin Law

Ignite your craft and be inspired by one of Australia’s most lauded writers, Benjamin Law in our first Masterclass for 2026.

This Queensland born and bred playwright, screenwriter and journalist, has grown into quite the accomplished creative. Did we mention he was one of Harper Bazaar's Visionary Men? What’s not to love and learn. Benjamin's career has taken him from page, to stage, to screen. He is the co-executive producer, co-creator and co-writer of the Netflix comedy-drama Wellmania (2023), creator and co-writer of three seasons of the award-winning SBS/Hulu/Comedy Central Asia TV series The Family Law (2016–2019), and playwright of Queensland Theatre Company's 2026 production of Torch the Place.

In this immersive session, discover how to craft compelling personal narratives, write authentically, turn real-life experiences into powerful stories, and navigate writing landscapes from journalism, publishing and the media.

Take action and turn your ideas into drama.
