Flapjack Press & Manchester Library and Information Service present Cathy Crabb – Selected Plays
Thursday 10 April, 6pm - 7:30pm at Chorlton Library, Manchester Rd, Chorlton-cum-Hardy M21 9PN
Celebrating 20 years of productions, award-winning playwright Cathy Crabb has selected 11 of her works for staging. Filled with humour and emotional resonance, these texts explore themes of family, trauma, neurodivergence, class and locality, and their experiential effect on the ordinariness of life and repercussions.
Join Cathy and guests for an evening of performance at Chorlton Library. Cathy will also talk about her journey and the development of her ideas, inviting the audience to join her in a writing exercise to inspire their own stories for the stage. There will be no pressure to share – the hope is that participants will leave with something they would like to write one day. There will also be some handy tips to kickstart that journey in the future.
