We are planning a retreat for ten lucky playwrights, returning to the beautiful Strathean in Otaki for eight days between 19th - 25th July 2010. We had very good feedback from last time, and very good results too. The playwrights were Pip Hall, Ken Duncum, Gary Henderson, Matthew Saville, Stayci Taylor, Julie Hill, John Vakidis, Paul Rothwell and Philip Braithwaite. Applications are now open and close Friday 14 May 2010. For more information go here.
