Panel: The Making of a Play: Process, Practice & Possibility

How does a play evolve from idea to performance? In this post-show discussion, the writers of Patience & U EXIT NOW share insights into their creative journeys, from early drafts to final staging.

Guest panellist Ola Animashawun brings decades of experience nurturing new voices, from the Royal Court to the National Theatre. Together, we’ll unpack the joys and challenges of shaping new work, and reflect on what it means to support emerging playwrights with care, rigour, and vision.

This event is available as part of the CumbriaFest Friday Evening ticket and the CumbriaFest Friday Festival Pass.
