Morgan Lloyd Malcom’s Substack is an important intervention in the demystification of the performance writing craft. Weekly she hosts a playwright/ dramatist who describes their writing day – in all its honesty – the things that help them, things that get in the way. I love it as a constant reminder to me that writers write in all sorts of ways, face all sorts of barriers external and internal, and find all sorts of ways to overcome them. It is a source of inspiration, solidarity and learning.

So today I was beyond thrilled that the wonderful Jane Upton, whose plays I’ve been working on over the last few years, mentioned me and our dramaturgical relationship in her entry here.

Almost as thrilled I was by the FIVE star Guardian review for Jane’s extraordinary play, which I dramaturged, produced by New Perspectives and currently running for another week at The Park.
