IASH is pleased to be supporting the premiere of My English Persian Kitchen, by Hannah Khalil, at the Traverse Theatre in August.
What would you take if you were forced to leave home with no hope of returning? How would you make a fresh start somewhere completely new? This is the true story of one woman who loses everything.

IASH are pleased to co-sponsor this one-day, in-person symposium consisting of a workshop, panel and lecture, in celebration of the bicentenary of a landmark year for Scottish fiction.
