Advice for playwrights | Tanya Ronder

18 Aug 2015 | Our Plays, Playwriting

‘My top advice to young budding playwrights would be to collaborate.

‘Seek out others, talk to others, work with others; get people to read your words, hear it, see how much you can take away.

F*ck the Polar Bears, by Tanya Ronder, premieres at the Bush Theatre from 11 September 2015.
