I’ve attended a few playwriting courses in recent months, have tried my hand at the odd bit of writing and seen several productions. Yet I haven’t until now been to a rehearsal. I had a vague idea of what to expect. It was much more interesting than I anticipated sort of like an onion peeled- [...]

The workshop on Monday with writers in the local area was a fascinating evening which brought Lambeth’s history alive. I was amazed and thrilled at the strong links to the aras history many of the writers had… from Granfather’s who has cobbler’s shops on The Cut to inhabitants of some of the biggest squats ever [...]
