That’s a wrap for the 2023 Currency Press Festival of Playwrights.

Thank you to our wonderful panelists for giving us a such a thought provoking and inspiring weekend.

The festival was recorded for our podcast series, Not in Print, and we are busily editing those recordings and will upload them very soon. We’ll let you know when they are ready.

In the meantime you can read Andrea James’ Keynote address, Are you Brave Enough? here.
