Hannah Silva

One of Hannah's courses ‘Writing in the City’ resulted in a 2 page spread in the December edition of Devon Life. As Plymouth’s ‘Writer in Residence’ she will be continuing to profile the writing going on in the city; Hannah has been recording local writers reading their work and will post the recordings on the Cyprus Well website over the coming months. She also hopes to run more free writing workshops in response to a new exhibition at Plymouth Museum in March. 
Hannah will be updating her blog soon with details of upcoming performances. Following rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe her solo theatre show Opposition will be back in the South West at the Queen's theatre, Barnstaple, 21st Feb. 'This work is radical, political, courageous' ***** What's on Stage
