Inside Greg Wayne’s Creative Mind: Secrets Behind His Most Captivating Stories Revealed
So, I was happy to find such a compressed timeline, which is really just: he’s approached to start Riverdance, he decides to join, it’s a success, there’s infighting, he’s fired, he decides to start his own show, it looks like it’s going to fail, and finally he manages to pull it off. Like you said, it’s a structure that almost writes itself.
Scott: That’s great because real life does not lay out like that often for a writer.
Greg: Very true.
Scott: Let’s talk about this Michael’s character, your story’s Protagonist. I love the way you introduce him. Page One, he’s this little kid dancing, so you see this innate expressive talent.
