Lounge around with playwrights Haresh Sharma, Noel Grieg and emerging playwrights from Singapore and Birmingham as they share about how they got started in writing. Get a chance to share your own thoughts and ask questions about playwriting.

This event was part of the Singapore-United Kingdom Playwright's Exchange, a collaboration between The Necessary Stage and Birmingham Repertory Theatre. This week-long series of activities is designed to enrich young playwrights from both Singapore and United Kingdom (UK) with artistic direction and consultancy from Noel Greig (UK Playwright and Director) and Haresh Sharma (Resident Playwright, The Necessary Stage).
