Got asked to write a thing about why I wrote Killing Jack, if you fancy a nose…

Like many people (surprisingly, mostly women) one of my guilty pleasures is cosying up at home and watching a nice programme about serial killers. Fred & Rose? Yes please. Ian & Myra? Cor, …

It’s safe to say we’re gutted that the next few months of Old Trunk activity - R&D for a big new show, workshops & masterclasses on new writing & how to make work etc, panels with ace women, & our Damn Write nights are all off until normality resumes. That’s a lot of fun with fun people.
😢

So we’ll be plotting away behind the scenes for a bit. And we do have some lovely news we can announce soon too.

SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. Take lots of care of yourselves you hear? 🌸

Had a mini Pramkicker reading from these
Caspa arts beauts yesterday. Then we put them to work making some of their own. Then they read the start of their play to us. It was ace. Then they got given a kick up the bum to keep working on it by our soulsister happenmaker Meesh Payne. They’ll be showing their work at a cool theatre in April. Bosh. VERY FRICKING SATISFYING.
