WRITE HEAR brings together 5 brand new audio plays by writers based in Devon and Cornwall.
The plays take us from an airplane soaring over Canada to a lighthouse at the end of the world, from deep silences of loss to ear splitting howls of anger.
Sit back, listen and be transported into five unique worlds with five unique characters who have something they urgently want to tell you.
WRITE HEAR is part of ‘Write Up! 2021’ a 12 month programme of writer development and production from Down Stage Write supported by Arts Council England. For more information please visit: www.downstagewrite.uk
For the best experience we recommend listening with headphones.
