STAGE TO SCREEN (NO MONOLOGUES ALLOWED) led by Lydia Marchant
June 6, 2020 @ 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm
Open to scriptwriters Squads 1-9.
What makes Gavin and Stacey the funniest programme ever written*? Why does Normal People say it best when it says nothing at all? A workshop exploring all the things telly writing lets you do that play writing doesn’t (including affording to eat.) We’ll watch some TV clips, do some challenges and have a go at taking a scene from stage to screen.
