Today I got my author copies of the book based on my PhD. It's been many years in the making and I'm so proud finally to hold it in my hands www.bloomsbury.com/uk/radical-r...

I fear that teaching my own playwriting module is making me want to write a book on playwriting one day (I’ll add it to the expanding lists of projects I don’t have time for right now 😅)

Anyone else anxiously refreshing the Arts council’s website today, hoping the new grant system gets released?

Hannah Greenstreet @hgreenstreet1.bsky.social · 24d

New year, new module - looking forward to teaching my own 3rd year UG module on playwriting. My sister pointed out this is my 13th freshers‘ week 😅

oh no, I've done the thing where I thought didn't have enough to say in my conference paper, so I started writing and now I have 4000 words (too long) and figured out what I actually want to say
