Discussion on Midsummer event - decided to take part in the Castle Park Arts Centre event in Frodsham: theme Midsummer Night’s Dream on Thursday 21st June 6pm to 10pm.

2. Warm-up session. What is the last good film or drama you saw on the TV? Describe, in one sentence, one of the characters in the film. What was the main important thing that happened to him? How did he change?

3. Readings.

4. Homework: Taking the character from the film again (from warm-up session above) put him in another film - it can be as dissimilar or similar from the first film as you like. Maybe you could use a film someone else has described. Describe what happens to him now. Maybe write as a film script (i.e. dialogue and brief scene descriptions).
