Weekly Howl: UK New Play Development

The Weekly Howl is a peer-produced, open-access discussion about theater culture and contemporary performance that happens on Twitter using the hashtag #newplay.*

Join us Thursday, February 21 for the Weekly Howl on hashtag #newplay at 11am PST – 12pm PST (San Francisco) / 1pm CST – 2pm CST (Chicago) / 2pm EST – 3pm EST (New York) / 19:00 GMT – 20:00 GMT (London).

This week—following Tuesday, Feb 19th’s livestreaming of a forum on UK New Play Development hosted by New Dramatists—we will continue the conversation about the differences between new play development in the UK and the US. @NewDramatists will moderate.

On Thursday, get heard in the conversation by searching for #newplay in Twitter (sort by “all”) and by putting “#newplay” somewhere in your messages. Spread the word!

The conversation will be a follow-up to OVER THERE, OVER HERE: A Public Forum on New Play Development in the UK.
