I moonlight as a playwright but my real ambitions are in waitressing. An excellent butler and a terrible spy.

@stefaniereyno I WILL IF I WANT TO

First two of these under the belt, two more to go. Next wk (21/8) we focus on action/structure, the week after (28/8) will be on dialogue. No writers have been humiliated in the exploration of these techniques. Join us!

Writers! Ever feel stuck at your desk? Lost in manuals and post-it notes? Drowning in scenes that feel like they're going nowhere? Me too! In the immortal words of one of my acting teachers, that's when it's time to get up and DO SOMETHING: https://t.co/q0K29OwN8E

I'll be leading a series of workshops this August at @LPSInitiative exploring how we might use actor techniques and rehearsal room exercises to support our writing practice. No performance experience necessary, just a willingness to play. Tell your friends and come along!

@eevlee @SamanthaEllis27 @rachelofmars I have this quote on permanent loop in my head

[rebecca saffir @rebeccaspeaking]

@MaxMorton182 I really enjoyed this journey through your thought process though

[rebecca saffir @rebeccaspeaking]

I am desperately trying to source a quote (tell me I haven't made it up) from one of the Big British Playwrights (I think?!) along the lines of "An audience moves at the speed of its most intelligent member". Google no help. HELP ME THEATRE GOOGLE, i.e. Twitter!!!
