Creative Writing workshops

With Fiona Benson & Women Speak Volumes South West

Poet and writer-in-residence Fiona Benson created a series of creative writing workshops exploring the themes of Jonson and Dekker’s lost play Page of Plymouth. The sessions interrogated themes that remain relevant today, such as parental coercion, gender roles, marriage rituals, reproductive rights and superstition.
