Playwrights East: Writing from an Actor’s Perspective with Anne Odeke

Hearing your dialogue performed by actors for the first time is what breathes life into your play. It takes your story from the page to the stage. But even before rehearsals begin, what can the actor’s perspective bring to your writing? If you are writing work to perform yourself, how do you balance your role as writer and actor in the process? Award-winning East of England Playwright Anne Odeke (Princess Essex, Even More…Ghost Stories by Candlelight) brings you her unique insight into the knotty relationship between writer and performer.
