Join us at TravFest24 to hear extracts of a new play by Isla Cowan (IASH/Traverse Creative Fellow, 2024)
Please note that this will be Isla's Work-in-Progress seminar, as well as a public event. IASH Fellows and Affiliates can request a free ticket by emailing iash@ed.ac.uk by 9 August. Tickets are extremely limited!
Having worked with the Traverse and The Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) at the University of Edinburgh since the beginning of 2024, Isla's new play about insects, apocalypse, and two women on the run is an eco-thriller that tells a vital story of our planet and where it's headed in the future. Exploring contemporary ecological issues surrounding farming and pollination practices, Isla’s play asks important questions about interspecies relationships, science, and survival, set against a dramatic backdrop of capitalist ruins.
This rehearsed reading, directed by the Traverse’s Artistic Director Gareth Nicholls (The Grand Old Opera House Hotel, Ulster American), and written during Isla's IASH/Traverse Playwriting Fellowship, marks your first chance to experience this new work as it progresses in its development.
