On the Horizon: Welsh – Irish Connections / Ar y Gorwel: Cysylltiadau Cymreig – Gwyddelig

On Thurs 17 June, you are invited by Dirty Protest & Fishamble to the sharing of 3 new short plays written collaboratively between Welsh & Irish writers! Attendees will experience the very first public sharing of these plays, read by Welsh and Irish actors, and to hear more about the collaborations in a post-reading Q+A with the writers.

Dirty Protest is Wales’ award-winning theatre company leading the development, promotion and production of new writing for performance.  Fishamble is an Olivier Award-winning Irish theatre company that discovers, develops and produces new plays of national importance with a global reach, while championing the role of the playwright.  For this online event, they have joined forces to pair up Welsh and Irish writers to collaborate on three new short plays!
