SCRIPTWRITERS & CO @scriptsandco.bsky.social · 29d

What a cracking event we had on Tuesday. Eight winning scripts introduced by eight writers from the UK, Turkey, US and Canada, including three audio dramas, two screenplays and two plays, performed by our incredible company of S&CO Actors. How international is that? What a brilliant night!
