Maggots at The Lion & Unicorn

2024-07-21

In this episode of The Writer's Toolkit, I chat with David Brady, Artistic Director of The Lion & Unicorn Theatre in London’s Kentish Town, and Farah Najib, whose play Maggots enjoyed a successful run at the theatre earlier this year. Farah shares how she seized the opportunity to stage her play at The Lion & Unicorn, and how it resonated with audiences. David offers insights into the evolving fringe theatre landscape and provides invaluable advice for playwrights and theatre makers aiming to get their work on stage.
