It is said that a great scene is a masterclass in structure.  It is built on conflict, three acts and a turning point – as much as an episode, a TV series or an entire film.

Join us to hear writer/actor Oscar Kightley talk to two of New Zealand’s most experienced and acclaimed screenwriters Rachel Lang and James Griffin as they deconstruct a scene of their own, delving into the micro to reveal how they draw the audience in and create compelling drama.

Together Rachel and James have created, written and executive produced Outrageous Fortune, The Almighty Johnsons and the upcoming series Blue Rose. Rachel also created Nothing Trivial, This is Not My Life and Go Girls (with writing partner Gavin Strawhan); and James paired up with Oscar Kightly to bring us Sione’s Wedding.

Drinks 7pm, 7.30 start, Tuesday 29th May, The Classic, 321 Queen Street, Auckland, $5 koha appreciated, stay afterward for a slice of pizza on us and a drink.
