They Wrong, We Write

The Irish Playwright And Screenwriters Guild is having a meeting tomorrow at 2pm in the Guild office, Art House, Curved Street, Temple Bar, to support the WGA. If you’re doing nowt and fancy a good shun – something we Irish are the best at – get your ass down there.

The Guild say have promised to: "supply the WGA t-shirts, and placards like they've got on YouTube. You can even make your own. A sample slogan is: "they wrong, we write".

Once we're kitted out we'll travel to outside Twentieth Century Fox for a short demonstration, and then onto Sony Pictures. Please turn up and show your solidarity with our fellow writers in the USA. They have put their careers and incomes on the line to highlight their essential contribution to the film industry, and to request proper remuneration for their creative talent. This is a struggle that writers across the globe can appreciate.”

At 4.30pm, there’s an end of year ‘sausages and drinks’ do. Gift! In the meantime, check out this industry in-joke – THE WGA STRIKE GETS VIOLENT...
