Four Letter WordsRehearsals for Four Letter Words at the Everyman Theatre

Four Letter Words

Thanks to funding from the University of Liverpool’s Early Career Researchers and Returners’ Fund, the Centre for New and International Writing and the Department of English, I was able to hold a 2-day workshop for my new play, Four Letter Words, which culminated in a rehearsed reading to an invited audience. The Everyman & Playhouse Theatre kindly provided rehearsal space and New Works Associate, Tommo Fowler, offered his dramaturgical support. I was lucky to work with a brilliant team of collaborators on the workshop: director Millie Foy, actors, Ged McKenna, Katie Erich, Nadia Anim and Alicya Eyo, and BSL interpreter Leanne Morris.
