William Ivory (lower photograph) wrote the screenplay for the film Made in Dagenham (top image), which was given its world première in Leicester Square (London, UK) last night. It was enthusiastically reviewed this morning in The Telegraph, The Guardian and the MailOnline.
The writer will lead a workshop for screenplay writers in Deans’ Hall, Berkhamsted School (Berkhamsted, UK) at the Graham Greene International Festival from 9.30am to 4.30pm on Saturday 2nd October 2010. This practical course should suit aspiring adult screenwriters of all ages. The event will include breaks for tea, coffee and lunch, and attendance at Michael Brearley’s talk, “A (second) Psychoanalyst looks at Graham Greene”.
A feature of William Ivory’s screenplay writing course will be a practical exercise to write film scenes drawn from the first chapter of Greene’s novel Brighton Rock, part one, section one: “Hale knew, before he had been in Brighton three hours, that they meant to murder him....” This exciting exercise will provide a link to Rowan Joffé’s illustrated talk “The Re-imagining of Brighton Rock” at the Festival at 11.30am on the following morning, Sunday 3rd October 2010.
William Ivory writes for television, film and stage. His recent projects include a film for the BBC based on D.H. Lawrence’s Women in Love.
The titles (or starting-points) for the Graham Greene Birthplace Trust's Creative Writing Awards in April 2011 will be released at the Festival 2010, when in addition to the screenplay workshop there will again be a prose workshop, which will be led by the fiction writer and academic, Creina Mansfield.
