Creating Theatre Workshop with Alex Howarth and Keron Day
24/07/26 at 13:00
Step inside the creation process of You and Me (and Whoever Comes Next) – a bold new play heading to Summerhall at the Edinburgh Fringe after winning the Mary Dick Award, supported by Hall for Cornwall.
Join writers Keron Day and Alex Howarth as they unpack how the show came together, from early ideas to full production, with space for your questions on the writing and development process. Then it’s your turn: take part in a hands-on group activity and start shaping the plot of your own play.
Keron Day is a Cornish performer, writer and activist known for Kirkmoore (BBC) and Sex Education (Netflix). Alex Howarth is an award-winning writer and director, named one of The Guardian’s 10 Stage Sensations, and the first director in history to have work performed at the United Nations.
