It was such a joy to visit SUISS this year for an author reading and Q&A - a phenomenal cohort of students with such passion and talent! As you can see from my huge smile in this photo(!), I loved reading from my play She Wolf and chatting all things theatre and playwriting!
We were so fortunate to welcome playwright, @islacowan, to read for our Theatre & Performance students this summer. Isla was so generous with her time, answering questions about her writing practice, and being wonderfully candid about her experience as a writer✨

Thank you so much @allanbw2 for your kind words about To Save the Sea❤️ So delighted you enjoyed it and for your 7:84 comparison - we made the show with a strong political impetus and the “good night out” tradition very much in mind - so it’s great to hear that you felt this✨
Totally LOVED @SWtheatre's To Save The Sea @traversetheatre this evening. Great writing, great music, great staging, great performances from a cast of EIGHT, and a strong creative team, telling the Brent Spar story. SCOTTISH THEATRE MAY BE STRUGGLING, BUT IT IS STILL ALIVE!!!
