Commission from Talawa

I am part of the writers’ group at Talawa. We’ve been commissioned to write plays for a reading in October at the Soho Theatre.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o />

Talawa is moving towards plays about the stories that don’t get told. So, yes, it includes “minority stories” but it’s a wider remit than that. I think it will produce some interesting work particularly when Talawa move in to their bigger theatre soon.

However, the “stories that don’t get told” I think are some of the most interesting in any form or medium. Humans crave good stories, both the familiar and increasingly the unfamiliar.
