AT HOME: Plays for Today: Women’s Playwriting in Scotland
A conversation about the past, present and future of women’s playwriting in Scotland.
As we showcase three new plays by Scottish writers, all women, we invite you to a conversation about the past, present and future of women’s playwriting in Scotland. This online special event was chaired by the Guardian’s Arifa Akbar and featured some of the organisations championing these new works; Stellar Quines, Paines Plough, National Theatre Scotland, and the Women’s Prize for Playwriting.
