Writing for the Spoken Word

We lead creative writing activities, mostly based around developing our Playwriting skills and creating community shows. These are suitable for complete beginners.

In 2023 and 2024, we teamed up with Better Things and Funky Fitness and Fun, community organisations which support adults living with Autism, learning difficulties, and additional special needs. For 2026, we are working together again with these groups, and also involving The Monastery, Gorton, to create a pantomime.

We can also share our poetry and plays with you!

Stories in Poems Suitable for Children

The Crikey Mikey series is about a good boy who everyone thinks is nought when he is just using his initiative and understanding of the world. This World of ours is full of wonder and things to be explored. It is full of magic!
