Inspector
Montalbano Writing
Ourselves Writing Fiction
Settings Playing Comedy
for Actors
Inspector Montalbano is back! If you’re
a fan of the Sicilian detective, then
come to this interactive workshop to
learn more about the characters and
the actors of the TV series, Andrea
Camilleri (the fascinating writer of
Montalbano novels), the Sicilian
culture, including places, food and
dialect, and finally test yourself with a
quiz full of curiosities on the Inspector,
that this year will also include Young
Montalbano! You may have a great desire to write
but don’t know how to start; or you
would like to use writing to explore
your creativity. In this one day
workshop, we play with imagination
and dreams, challenging our fears – of
the blank page, of looking foolish, of
failure – and enchanting ourselves to
write out of our centre and persist
creatively into the future. Saturday 29 April
11:00am-1:30pm (16+ yrs) £40/£35 Suitable for beginners and more
experienced writers wanting to focus
on a specific aspect of their practice.
Whether you’re writing about alien
landscapes or the park down the road,
you want your readers to see your
landscapes as vividly as you do. Learn
how to walk through landscapes both
exotic and familiar as we look at how
you can bring settings to life in your
fiction writing. Participants will need to
bring with them a device capable of
browsing the internet (smartphone,
tablet or laptop computer). Writing Fiction

Suitable for beginners and more
experienced writers wanting to focus
on a specific aspect of their practice. So,
you’ve finished writing your
masterpiece. What happens now? Take
the pain out of editing and the mystery
out of query letters as we explore
aspects of getting your work ready to
send out and what to do when it’s
ready to go. New writers are very
welcome, but participants should have
completed at least one piece of
creative writing (short story or longer).
Please bring an excerpt of around 1,500
words to the workshop.
This fun workshop will examine ways
of playing comedy for actors, including
improvisation and the fast-paced,
witty, popular and ever-changing
genre of farce. We will explore
characters and scenes from several
modern plays and texts will be
supplied by the tutor. Rosie has played
professionally in many different styles
of comedy, including some classic
farces.
