Abi Morgan (Shame, The Iron Lady) discusses how she writes while she also pinpoints what, in that writing, acts as her starting point. Morgan delves into how witnessing a conversation between a mother and daughter can act as enough of a jumping off point for a good story.

Morgan’s writing has a hard, engaging bite and is worth looking at and reviewing. She’s also crafted a diverse canon of stories. Which is your favorite?
