At A Glance New Writing Festival 12

New Writing Season

14 February 2012 Back to list

large_new_writing.jpg

For 10 magical days we are celebrating all things writing at the Playhouse with plays, playfulness, wine, writers, more wine and maybe even a bit of song.

You can come see the words come to life at any one of the showcases, plays, or open platforms.

You can join in by taking part in date night, a masterclass, an open platform or sending us a short piece of writing (no more than 2 pages A4 and it's for public display so keep it clean) to literary@wyp.org.uk

You'll be able to see your work on our walls, by going to the New Writing Blog or following #writingtheseason on twitter

See you there for happy endings, middles and new beginnings…

Writers-in-residence

A writing season should have writers in residence. So this is what we've done. One is going to be appointed from submissions. The other, we are delighted to say, is Fin Kennedy, someone we have wanted to work with for a long time.

The writers will be writing new pieces every day inspired by the season, the theatre and the city of Leeds. You will be able to follow their work on the New Writing Blog, by reading work displaying in the Newlyn Gallery and in a special showcase on Friday 1 June at 6pm.
