As part of our LIVE NETWORK programme 2023 we are looking for participants to join us once more for YOURS SINCERELY.  Writer and podcaster Sophie White will correspond by letter with a small group of people. “Yours Sincerely” will see the writer and participants pen five letters over the course of five weeks, with the option of meeting up at the end over a cup of tea.

Places limited for this free project, to sign up, contact admin@backstage.ie today.

Project runs from September 29th-November 3rd.
