Do you love the fiction of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers?
Would you like to know more about it?
Crime fiction is as popular today as it was in the 1920s and 1930s – but the stories are very different. Or are they…? Come along to find out more about ‘the golden age’ of crime writing, and what today’s authors can learn from the old masters.
This workshop will be led by ICE Creative Writing tutor Dr Jamie Bernthal-Hooker who is also a private researcher for the bestselling crime writer Sophie Hannah and a leading authority on the work of Agatha Christie.
Complement your workshop with a thrilling outdoor theatre experience, courtesy of the Chapterhouse Theatre company's production of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Deep in the beautiful Northumbrian countryside, a terrifying mystery and a legendary nemesis await the arrival of the world’s greatest detective. When the wife of Doctor Watson suddenly disappears, a desperate quest to find her begins. Sherlock Homes comes face to face with his greatest fear at the hands of his mortal enemy in this stunning new tale of romance and suspense.
