Write About What You Know tells the tale of a group of amateur writers who meet every month in their local scout hut to discuss their work, exchange tips and seek mutual encouragement. But closer examination of the disparate group of writers reveals a whirlwind of love affairs, petty jealousy, rivalry and literary one-upmanship. This is punctuated with readings of often excruciatingly funny amateur penmanship, with everybody encouraged to draw on their own very different experiences to write about what they know.

Here’s a list of the characters:
| Annabel Newstead | Late 30’s / Early 40’s. Brian’s devoted “homely” wife in Act 1 but not so in Act 2 when she is very, very drunk. |
| Liz Marshall | Mid 30’s. A feminist who sees herself as a cut above the rest, has no sense of humour. Quite a spiky character. |
| Colin Harbottle | 50 – 60. A bluff Northerner, a bit of a male chauvanist. The character works well with a Northern accent. Writes unintentionally hilarious westerns. |
| Peter Saltern | Late 20’s / Early 30’s. “a socially aware and environmentally concerned writer”, who writes terrible poetry! |
| Louise Smith | Late 20’s / Early 30’s... |
