The Writer

Description

‘I want the world to change shape.’
‘I'm not sure theatre can do that.’
‘Well then where am I meant to take that impulse because I'm very serious about the endeavour?’

A young writer challenges the status quo but discovers that creative gain comes at a personal cost.

The Writer premiered in 2018 at the Almeida Theatre, London, in a production directed by Blanche McIntyre.

The Writer was a finalist for the 2019 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
