Paul will begin with some discussion and practical tips on how to read effectively before an audience. He will then lead a discussion as to the ways in which short stories, monologues and poems can be adapted towards a live-performance context. Finally, we will explore how to create an effective dramatic setting (with examples from established playwrights). Discussion will be followed by a workshop in which you will create a dramatic opening for a story that you have already written or, perhaps, one that you are yet to write.
