Supporting the development of new work by Black writers in Merseyside.

As part of the Black Joy season, Talawa and Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse have awarded seed commissions for two writers to develop a new play, showcase work and build networks with the creative community in Liverpool.

We are delighted to announce the writers who have been offered the commissions are Ollie Adebisi and Aron Julius. We can’t wait to see how their vivid and highly theatrical explorations of Black life develop over the coming months!
