Author Jeff Stolzer Joins the Line-Up for Untold Stories New Writing Festival
Untold Stories New Writing Festival is excited to be bringing the second leg of their New Writing Festival to The Pleasance in November. Following a sold festival at The Arcola earlier this year and a hugely successful year at SLAM Kings Cross in 2017, where they staged 24 new plays over four festivals to sell out audiences and critical acclaim.
Once again, they will be presenting a collection of diverse new plays by some of the most exciting and up and coming theatre makers and playwrights, featuring highlights from 2017, the best of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, International Artists from Iceland and the US, and debuts from existing artists.
