I fear that teaching my own playwriting module is making me want to write a book on playwriting one day (I’ll add it to the expanding lists of projects I don’t have time for right now 😅)

Don't say we're not good to you: our second Friday piece is free-to-read too... In return, we just want to hear your thoughts too - do cameras on stage make theatre feel even more live? Or are they becoming an overdone cliche?
