Delving into the work of British playwright, Kevin Elyot, Polly will uncover Kevin's writing journey and discover her own fledgling playwriting process. Her residency will culminate with a rehearsed reading of scenes from her new play, working title, The Crop Circle Café, in late 2025.
Listen to Polly's audio diary 'Kevin Elyot, Crop Circles & Me' as new episodes will be published throughout her residency. The second and third episodes are available to listen to below. New episodes will also be available on our blog page with a transcription.
As part of her time at the archive, Polly will be holding three open workshops for South West based researchers, theatre students, actors, writers, directors and theatre-makers, to join her in exploring Elyot's early drafts and the process of playwriting – and to share drafts and wonderings of their own! Keep an eye on Polly's website and our events page for more details.
