Plymouth Laureate of Words

Laura Horton, the Plymouth Laureate of Words, presented a World Book Day event to unveil a new modern play text collection at the PPL. She gave a play reading followed by a Q&A

Laura Horton unveiled a new modern plays section, generously donated by Concord Theatricals and Paines Plough to celebrate World Book Day on 3rd March.
The event included a short reading of one of Laura's new plays, Breathless.
This was followed by a Q&A with Plymouth's first woman and playwright in the role of Plymouth Laureate of Words:

"I'm really keen to get people to think about picking up a play to read like they would a novel or short story. Plays are so accessible and fun to read, they fire your visual imagination in wonderful ways. I'm delighted that Concord Theatricals have donated such a brilliant range to the library and hope people get lots of use out of them."

Many thanks to everyone who donated money at this event at the PPL. £166.30 was raised and given to the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
