Alongside considering how to integrate action and body language with realistic dialogue, to effectively convey emotion and meaning for both the development of the character and the storyline.THE TUTORTina Jay is an award winning playwright, having won both the International Playscript Competition (judged by Sir Alan Ayckbourn), and the Kenneth Branagh Award for New Drama Writing.Her plays have been performed across London, with her most recent play 'Syndrome' performed for a two week run at Tristan Bates Theatre in Covent Garden, receiving 5* reviews and an Offie nomination for 'Best New Play'.
