Middle Child in Hull would usually open applications for their Writers’ Group with Tom Wells right about now but… pandemic. So Tom is kindly sharing some weekly exercises that first-time writers can do from home, starting  with Voice (featuring hummus).

Week 3 

This week’s topics are Dialogue and Scenes. You’ll have a look at the way people talk to each other in real life, the way characters talk to each other on stage, and the way this can be shaped into a scene that feels sparky, energetic and alive. We’ll start gently, though, with a bit of Gogglebox…..
