Lit Up Festival is thrilled to present a newly commissioned work by one of the UK’s most performed playwrights, John Godber, which will tour East Riding Libraries at the end of this month, as part of the Out of this Word programme.
John has worked alongside a trio of emerging playwrights from The Writing Squad: Georgia Affonso; Ruby Lawrence and Lydia Marchant, to re-imagine East Riding histories. The piece is entitled HERE and NOW and it will see three trainee librarians battling with books, boilers and bad parking as they uncover amazing stories!
The time has come, the wait is over: THIS WEEK, THURSDAY NO LESS, sees the opening of the Lit Up Festival.
Clear your diaries, open your minds, get into gear and come along (more than once). From 28th September to 21st October, we bring you the world, the geniuses, the game-changers.
