What happens when a new play is workshopped? Sit in as director/ dramaturg Rick DesRochers opens up the script development process with new writer Tracey Scott Wilson.

The open workshop will culminate in a reading.

Wednesday 13 November, 4pm £3/£2
The Story takes us on a dizzying journey into a murder investigation and the politics that inevitably colour people's findings. Questioning our ideas about race, class and the media, it raises the provocative issues of US identity politics and journalistic responsibility.
Rick DesRochers is the Literary Manager at the Public Theater/New York Shakespeare Festival. Tracey Scott Wilson, recipient of the 2002 Helen Merrill Award for Emerging Artists, is one of the most promising new voices in American theatre.
