Phil Collins, who has written numerous sketches, short plays and a couple of pantomimes, often taking to the stage himself, was the ideal choice for our latest speaker. Members and guests enjoyed his very entertaining illustrated talk on comedy writing and were challenged to tackle the exercises he set on different aspects of the genre. A question and answer session followed a break for refreshments.
As regular attenders at ‘Swanwick’, the Writers’ Summer School, Phil, Maggie and Cathy are old friends. Phil, who has performed many roles there over the years, including serving as Chairman, is once again a member of the Committee. All three are looking forward to meeting up again in the summer. Why not join them?
This year’s ‘Swanwick’ will run from 9th-14th August and some places are still available. https://www.swanwickwritersschool.org.uk/
