Dramatron is a research tool from DeepMind that uses pre-trained large language models to hierarchically co-write theatre scripts and screenplays, generating character descriptions, plot beats, locations, and dialogue from a log line. It ships as a Colab notebook where users plug in their own LLM sampling interface.

Use cases

• co-write screenplays with an LLM
• generate a full script from a log line
• explore hierarchical story generation
• get dialogue and character ideas as a playwright
• run an LLM creative writing demo in Colab

When to choose

• you are a writer or researcher exploring LLM-assisted scriptwriting
• you want a hierarchical story generation pipeline you can adapt to your own LLM
• you want to reproduce the SIGCHI 2023 co-writing study setup

When to avoid

• you want a turnkey tool with a built-in LLM - you must implement your own sampling interface
• you need fully autonomous script generation - it is designed for human co-writing
• you need a production application rather than a research prototype
