These surgeries are part of Dirty, Gifted and Welsh, our dirty day-long celebration of new Welsh writing. There will also be Q&A sessions, Plays In A Bag, readings and brand new scenes inspired by the week’s local news. Alongside this we’ll have a great atmosphere, DJs, a bar and plenty of space to meet and spend time with fellow writers and theatre fans. Click here for the full timetable.
