Stories as plays

In this clip, Philip Ridley explains in detail how writing stories for plays is different to writing stories for novels. He models the process, exploring how information needs to be conveyed through speech, so that the story is told through dialogue. The role of the director and actors in this process is highlighted as they are key to lifting the words off the page, bringing them to life.
