What Happens Next?: Story so far..

Last year, Tip Tray Theatre launched the "What Happens Next?" writing competition, and the response was incredible. The theatre scene in Liverpool hasnt been this excited in a long time. I had the opportunity to work closely with the team at TipTray to promote and host the after party during my time at opening nights. Now, with my new platform The Creative Wire, has already started coverage on the exciting shows thats part of this event. When I first met Maisy and Evan, I was amazed at how passionate and driven they were and this is the sole reason why I love working with these guys and continue to do so.

Introducing your host, Liam Gillies

I came to theatre pretty late in life. I was doing my masters degree in comedy (graduated with a distinction last year so, I was technically the funniest person in the country for a while there) when I saw the royal court Liverpool were running a yearlong course in writing for the stage. I had never given stage writing much thought. I was bottom sets in everything in school so we never did Shakespeare in English, but I thought I would apply with a radio play I won a runner up prize with a few years previous and, to my surprise, I was invited to take part on the course.

What Happens Next? Special Plug-In: Four

We caught up with Elspeth Todd, the writer of Four, for an in-depth interview to get an insight into her background, motivation, inspiration and thinking.

Tell us about your writing.

Writing came on a whim. I’ve never really had the confidence to write, as someone who went through school being told they weren’t good enough or stupid even after being diagnosed very late in life with Dyslexia and cognitive processing issues, I was still described as ‘simple.’ Since then, I’ve always been terrified to write stuff down.
