In comedy, with a good script, you just have to say the lines and trust the writing. So what is it that sets an Actor's interpretation apart?

Quite often, it's what happen in the silences... 

This workshop for professional actors offers an opportunity to explore just what it is in language that induces laughter.

How do you make a text work in your favour.  How do you extract the laughs from a scene and keep it believable and truthful.

What will you get? - An understanding of how trusting the language and focussing on the timing can impact on the comedic effect.

Scripts will be sent out shortly before the workshop.
