About the event

Adapting a True Story: The challenges of writing about real events, real people with Geraldine Quinn
Geraldine Quinn will present this 1.5hr workshop that allows participants to explore the challenges involved in writing (and performing) material drawn from real events and people. Whether you're interested in extending or starting your own writing for theatre, fiction, music, or more, or you'd just like to hear more about Geraldine's own experiences while she was developing and writing The Passion of Saint Nicholas, this workshop helps to answer (or not!) some of the big questions of writing (your) reality.

Can you claim ownership of your own story? How does it effect other people in your life and how can you navigate those potential complications? Can altering events betray the authenticity of your story, or allow you to distill the essence of your message? 'The Passion of Saint Nicholas' allowed both Geraldine and director Declan Fay to learn a lot about their own process, negotiating the core of a trauma within a large family, negotiating a personal experience of loss separate from but adjacent to the wider family.
