Content Warning: Frank discussions of race, racialised language and approximately 1,421 uses of “f*ck”

The four residents of Centre 42's Playwright's Professional Development Residency have spent the past six months reading and discussing plays that turn back the gaze, plays that dream about systems unraveling, plays that ask hard and pungent questions, plays that stare fear and proscription in the face. In short, they've been reading plays that say "F*CK YOU" in some form or another and turning these provocations and insights on their own practices.

This evening will be an intimate sharing of their discoveries, uncertainties, and ambitions for the future. Come listen to what they've got to share and stay for a casual chat with the artists at the end.
