325: Reinventing a Legend Interview with Nathan Makaryk
b'
Hey there word nerds!
Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Nathan Makaryk.
Nathan is the author of Nottingham, which deconstructs the mythology of Robin Hood in a realistic historical context. Nathan is a playwright, theater-owner, director, stage combat choreographer, and comedian living in Southern California. Nottingham was based on his critically-acclaimed original play The Legend of Robin Hood.
Today we\\u2019ll be talking about the second installment in his epic Nottingham series: Lionhearts.
In this episode Nathan and I discuss:
- Why he initially hated Robin Hood and how that helped him reimagine it
- How he adapted his own script into a full-length book
- The difference between pacing and speed and why that shift is important
Plus, his #1 tip for writers.
