Drama for the Time of Emergency

Every year we invite a group of young writers from different countries to work during l’Obrador d’estiu with an experienced playwright. For the ninth time, this playwright is Simon Stephens, who has proposed to work on the subject Drama for the Time of Emergency. From this topic, authors have written short plays that, translated into Catalan, will be presented to the public in the form of staged readings.

Within the GREC 2017 Festival of Barcelona.
