This show is specially designed for teenagers, schools, colleges and for everyone who loves good, new writing. There’s going to be writing games, prizes, competitions, hotseating and readings!
Platform has cemented its reputation as one of the most exciting venues in the country and Cargo are bringing the acclaimed book The Year of Open Doors for a special performance.
Alan Bissett is from Falkirk. He is the author of the novels Boyracers, The Incredible Adam Spark and, most re- cently, Death of a Ladies’ Man. His plays include Turbo Folk, The Ching Room, and his own ‘one-woman show’, The Moira Monologues, which is touring Scotland throughout 2010.
Tawona Sitholé is a 36 year-old writer and musician, from Zimbabwe. He has been living in Glasgow for over ten years. He is the co-founder of Seeds of Thought creative group, which aims to promote the sharing of cultures through the arts. His work involves writing, performing, organising events, educating and facilitating.
Allan Wilson is a writer from Glasgow. He writes short stories, novels and plays. He was selected to appear in ‘The Year of Open Doors’ having been selected from the open sub- missions process.
The show promises to be interactive and pretty different from your average literature gig…
Buses are provided from Mono, King’s Court, Glasgow to the venue and back for your convenience.
