Workshop for Script Writers
The Secret to Great Dialogue
Saturday 23 May
10am - 12pm
Have you written a script and want to improve your dialogue? Do you enjoy discussing new writing? Do you love being in the same room as other writers? Then this workshop is for you!!
Richard will kick off the session with some tips and tricks for writing the best dialogue based on his wealth of experience as a professional writer. Then we'll dive into your work! So we encourage you to bring a short scene to apply the techniques you've just learnt. You'll come away with a fresh perspective on writing dialogue as well as feedback on your work from a group of other writers!
We also invite you to stay for the rest of the day to listen and give feedback to a table read of a new piece of theatre.
