Inspired by the author's own real-life experiences, the profoundly moving Far Gone by @RwothOmack tells the story of a young boy's journey from childhood innocence to child soldier.
Joyful trans rom-com Happy Meal by @TheTabbyLamb takes us back to the quaint days of dial up and MSN for a funny, moving and nostalgic story of transition. #QueerHappyMeal
In @Marcelo_Writes' Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen, a stand-up comic finally meets his Mr Right - and then does everything wrong.
Liz Lochhead's award-winning, poetic, Scots-inflected version of Euripides' classic revenge tragedy Medea comes to @edintfest, more than twenty years after its hit debut.
Inspired by interviews with hospice workers, conversations with mystics and trips to the cemetery, Age is a Feeling by @yeshaleymcgee explores the glorious, melancholy uncertainties of life.
In Kobane, Syria, a crackshot sniper with a hundred kills to her name is all that stands between the town’s citizens and the fearsome approach of ISIS.
As a piece of dramatic writing, the start of the Handforth Parish Council meeting is utterly EXQUISITE.
The establishment of key backstory, the immediate insight into dynamics between the characters, the apparently civil dialogue crackling with subtext... it's all in there.
Whoever wrote this is clearly a genius and we can't wait to see what they do next.
Who's their agent and when can we publish the full thing, please?
