Saturday 9th November 2019 saw the culmination of a project which nurtured new playwrights in the city.
It’s the Sunderland Stages Writers Project, developed as part of the Unlock strand of Sunderland Culture’s Great Place scheme - “aiming to develop talent and unlock potential in the Sunderland area.”
Five writers in Sunderland were selected for “Museum Pieces”, which showcased performances of original work by these five writers at the Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens.
Three of the five writers joined us live on ArtyParti:
