Writing Dialogue in Accents

THE PLAYWRITING SEMINARS > CONTENT > CHARACTERS > LANGUAGE > ACCENTS

'. . . I didn't set out to write a play about art forgery. For me, 36 VIEWS is more about how we navigate a different culture. All the characters in the play are experts in a field, and yet despite their expertise, they're struggling with something that's foreign to them. Having to make sense of alien worlds interests me a great deal, as does the related question: How do you make sense of another human being, of a consciousness very different from your own?'
