Award-winning playwright, director & performer // Playwright in Residence @traversetheatre @IASH_Edinburgh // Resident Writer @TronTheatre





We were so fortunate to welcome playwright, @islacowan, to read for our Theatre & Performance students this summer. Isla was so generous with her time, answering questions about her writing practice, and being wonderfully candid about her experience as a writer✨






A packed audience tonight @traversetheatre for the launch of SSP@50 Fellow @FergusMorgan’s podcast series A History of Scottish Drama in Six Plays, featuring panellists @NicolaMcMcCartney, @islacowan, @MarkFFisher and @gaznicholls. Check out Ep1 now on a podcast near you!












Totally LOVED @SWtheatre's To Save The Sea @traversetheatre this evening. Great writing, great music, great staging, great performances from a cast of EIGHT, and a strong creative team, telling the Brent Spar story. SCOTTISH THEATRE MAY BE STRUGGLING, BUT IT IS STILL ALIVE!!!
