Have ya had a chance to listen to this fun slice of #newwriting yet?

Grab a cuppa and listen to some wonderful VAs bringing some superb words in the correct order to life 🌞🎉

The Sound of Absence: A One-Take Vision at the Omnibus Quokka Films brings 'The Sound of Absence' to London's Omnibus Theatre. Discover how Yanina Hope and Vladyslav Kuznetsov turn raw grief into a live conplay.

The "grief play" is familiar territory, but The Sound of Absence strips away the expected nostalgia. This new "conplay" at @omnibustheatre.bsky.social pairs Yanina Hope's raw text with Vladyslav Kuznetsov's live piano as an equal dialogue partner. wp.me/p91wLp-zErvpVp #LondonTheatre #NewWriting

New cast and new hobbies. You’d think this would be a prime time for #NewWriting but the muse is a capricious mistress. Thankfully there’s a weekly #prompt from @thebrokenspine.co.uk and various other lovely literary accounts, which I CAN (not SHOULD, no shoulds allowed) make use of!
