Meet the cast!
Covering the key to any and every successful script (and story!) - Character!
Looking at classic roles, types and archetypes, protagonists, antagonists and everything in between to learn how to make sure your characters are true to who they are, what they are, where they come from and when, and how all of that informs why they do what they do - and how they feel about doing it.
Come and discuss characters already alive in your work, whether they are currently frustrating or thrilling you, and we’ll talk about some old friends too.
Facilitated by Tessa Gibbs.
All levels welcome
Fee: £30
Places are limited so early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment
Tessa Gibbs has received commissions to write historical feature films (No Place for a Lady: the story of Mary Seacole, Almost America: the story of Henry Knox and a foul-mouthed comedy called Hammered about the fall of iconic British film makers Hammer House of Horror), and has had original comedy and drama scripts for television optioned by BBC Northern Ireland, Fifty Fathoms, Clerkenwell Films, World Productions and, most recently, Film Nation.
She has had 8 radio plays produced, including Killing Kate, Making Peace, Meltdown and the two parter, Leaving, for BBC Radio 4. She is represented by Frances Arnold at Rochelle Stevens & Co for film, television and radio.
For those of you who weren’t lucky enough to catch it the first time round, or in last November’s repeat, her Radio 4 play, Leaving, (a darkly funny family drama about love, loss and legacy - and why doing the right thing can seem like the wrong thing to do) is still available on BBC iPlayer.
Cancellation policy: non-refundable
NOTE:
Hopefully this cast can keep you company through a productive, writing - or thinking - summer before the launch of Script Club in September:
A series of five evening sessions which will cover the main elements of script writing in any form along with an introductory session on how to scrutinise your own work, and other people’s, positively and constructively:
