Adapting books with Sharon Colpman
Course details
William Booth is a local author writing about growing up in Liverpool as a working class lad with an entrepreneurial spirit. It is essentially a love story to his wife and Liverpool itself.
Participants will be given a section of the book to adapt for stage and will be guided via workshops and zoom meetings to understand how a creative writer’s room works and to meet deadlines and work as a team and individually.
Editing written work and working with a producer and a director and dramaturg is central to this Tag Team Challenge.
Writers have been selected but we will be looking for more people with other skills, later in the project.
The course is designed to run over 5 months with group meetings to suit the participants at Studio Below, 39 Rodney Street and via zoom for mentoring purposes
Dates between: 5/2/25 and 30/6/25
