  • New work by MSt Tutor Alice Jolly: Paines Plough Performance, 1st November 2012

    Come To Where I’m From

    1st November.  Parabola Arts Centre, Cheltenham. 7.30

    The leading new writing company Paines Plough is asking playwrights from across the UK to write plays about the places they grew up. In villages and towns and cities, these plays will be performed by the writers themselves.
    In this special one-off performance at Parabola Arts Centre, playwrights from Gloucestershire come home to tell their tale. Come To Where I’m From will result in a theatrical tapestry of the UK, woven by writers asking if home really is where the heart is.
    BOX OFFICE: 01242 707 338 / WWW.PARABOLAARTSCENTRE.CO.UK

    The writers from Gloucestershire are:
    Alice Jolly
    Lucy Tyler
    Katherine Mitchell
