About This Event

Romance aficionados and aspiring screenwriters alike are invited to delve into the heart of the genre with a special workshop led by esteemed romantic comedy scholar Sarah Bradley. Taking place at the Gilded Balloon Patter House in Edinburgh on Wednesday 5 August, the session promises an insightful exploration of the conventions that make romantic comedies so enduringly popular. Attendees will have the opportunity to dissect the familiar tropes that populate our favourite cinematic love stories, from the comfort of well-worn clichés to the exhilaration of a classic falling-in-love montage and the satisfying predictability of a happy ending. The workshop will also tackle those age-old romcom conundrums: can sworn enemies truly find romance, and does a chance encounter with print media hold the key to everlasting love? The engaging session is scheduled to commence at 2:40pm. Further details regarding pricing can be found on the event's website.
