I have a scene where someone is eavesdropping. They know who the speakers are. I am sure it would be correct just to use normal dialogue tagging. But what I would like to try is placing the names in front. A bit like a play.
Tom said, "Xxx."
Dick, "Xxx."
Tom, "Xxx."
Dick, "Xxx."
Harry hurried away from the door...
Any thoughts on that?
