Theatre by the Lake presents

Panel: Writing Fiction, Holding History

Thursday 30 October | 8.30-9.15pm

Fiction offers creative freedom, but what happens when that fiction is shaped by real trauma?

How do playwrights navigate the line between imagination and lived trauma? This conversation explores the creative and ethical questions that come with writing fiction rooted in real, often difficult histories. What does it mean to invent with care, especially when those histories still resonate for audiences today?
