Given playwrights are often under-represented when it comes to writers’ festivals, a playwriting festival is an exciting proposition indeed.
The NSW Writers’ Centre has unveiled the full lineup for its 2016 playwriting festival, a celebration of theatre and the men and women who are shaping its current direction.
The program will feature such established luminaries as Stephen Sewell (the wordsmith behindThe Blind Giant Is Dancing) but has alsofound room for a host of younger, emerging artists such as Tom Holloway. It’s sure to be a fascinating insight into the behind-the-scenes business that goes on before the actors even begin treading the boards, so aspiring playwrights and theatre lovers alike should get involved.
The playwriting festival hits the NSW Writers’ Centre on Saturday March 19. More information is available on the Writers’ Centre websitehere.
