Scenes Inspired by Stephen King
One-day workshop with Katy Schutte!
About the workshop:
When I was a kid, my Mum told me not to read Stephen King, so – of course – I read loads. If you haven’t read his work, you probably know Carrie, Misery and IT. Did you know that Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile and Stand by Me are all based on his stories too? His style is rich, characterful, scary and exciting. Terrifying and ridiculous baddies meet coming-of-age stories and slow-burn character scenes. Come play smalltown cops, frustrated writers, clowns, vampires and er… killer trucks in this super fun, low-pressure class. You don’t need to know the genre to come and play.
