A Play A Pie and A Pint
A Perfect Stroke – Review
★★★★★ Perfectly stroked:
Tense and nervous drama of the kind that just won’t relax comes to the Traverse this week in the second instalment of the Spring 2014 season of lunch time theatre: A Play a Pie and a Pint.
A Play, a Pie and a Prize for Edinburgh playwright
Edinburgh-based playwright Jenny Knotts has won the inaugural David MacLennan Prize for her play, Home.
