Description
To celebrate Paines Plough’s 50th birthday, we presents ’Come to Where I’m From’.
Since 2010, we’ve invited playwrights to write and perform a mini-play, with just the title of the project as their prompt: ’Come to Where I’m From’. Together, these plays make up a theatrical tapestry of the nation – a playwrights’ guide to Great Britain.
If you would like to see us continue to be an advocate, a voice and a thriving platform for writers and the future of new writing around the country, please consider donating to our 50for50 campaign at this link: www.painesplough.com/50-for-50/
