We're excited to start #PowerPlays festival at The Dukes Lancaster on 19 April! To all writers-in-waiting, don't miss the opportunity to connect and collab at Blast Fest! theoldelectric.co.uk/event/writers-…

Plus, no one can ever ask 'what is dramaturgy? again as there are no less that 3 WORKSHOPS on it from me, Stewart Pringle & Iskandar إسكندر Ramzi bin Sharazuddin. We will then fight as to who is actually right *

*not really. I think Pringle may have secret moves or a ray gun and it wouldnt be fair

A fantastic opportunity for writers! 48 events - all connected to new writing.
- Workshops
- Performances
- Talks
- Q&As
- Playwriting Competition
