Playwright of the Month

Alison is a relatively new writer, having last year completed the John Retallack Playwriting course for aspirant playwrights.  Her play 'Only Love Can Do That' was written during her time on this course. 

She has had a short piece 'Tooth and Nail' performed at the Horse and Stables in London as well as being part of the recent 'Around the Globe' festival.  

She is currently working on her first full-length play.  

Having worked in the field of social care for 20 years, Alison is particularly interested in socio-political plays and the opportunity that theatre affords for exploring different perspectives. 'Only Love Can Do That' (available via StageLaunch) is set in an NHS hospital and takes a compassionate look at the kind of prejudices that patients bring along to their appointments! 

The following play by Alison is listed on StageLaunch which can be found in more detail here.
