The @NationalTheatre has launched their new digital platform for the Black Plays archive. 🫶🏿
The new website contains a catalogue of over 850 Black British, African, and Caribbean plays produced in the UK from 1909 to today.
Find out more here: blackplaysarchive.org.uk
Thank you, @JamesMockler_ for ending our featured playwright series so beautifully. Over the past few weeks, 14 playwrights have shared insight into their work, influences, inspirations & dreams. Please book to support them, their voices & their work: eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-dot-d…
More from @JamesMockler_ : This is a photo from ‘The Godfather’, my favourite out of all the projects I’ve written @cssdcpp . In this play, a grieving husband & father is forced to confront his lost child, or be destined to succumb to the pain of his past. 1/2
Hope everyone had a restful Bank Holiday weekend. Only two more sleeps until the New Writing Festival begins, with only one more writer to be revealed...

In their spare time Charlie is a professional Mario Kart 8 driver, semi-professional chef and amateur dog-trainer.
In their first year of university, they played Grouch the Clown in Presto, a non-verbal musical performance which toured to schools in Oldham & centred on queer joy. 1/2
Their writing style is characterised by vivid narratives and lyrical descriptions and during their time at @cssdcpp their plays have touched on themes such as mental health, nonbinary identity and interpersonal relationships. 2/2
It was absolutely brilliant to hear from @IndyNile ! To support Gabriel and all the wonderful playwrights of @cssdcpp 2021, please do book for the New Writing Festival eventbrite.co.uk/e/new-writi…
@IndyNile : Outside of @CSSDLondon , I have been a drag artist since 2018. My drag persona, Indy Nile, is a brash, garish, wannabe lady-killer who subverts the tropes of the working men’s club comedian (with incredibly tacky suits to boot). 1/2
My proudest achievement as a drag artist is being the current reigning winner of London’s most chaotic drag competition – @thegoldrushldn , as well as putting on my debut solo show at @theatredeli in 2019. You can find me on Instagram @indy_nile! 2/2
More from @IndyNile : My identity as a trans man has been very influential in developing my artistic voice. A example being my digital solo performance, Bindr, a comedy exploring the isolating and degrading obstacles that many trans people face whilst dating. 1/3
As a writer, I have always had an affinity for comedy, and aim to subvert often tragic representations of trans people in fiction by creating joyous representations within my work. 2/3
Outside of my writing, I am also the current Trans Officer on @CentralSU , working with staff and students to create a more welcoming environment for Trans people @CSSDLondon 3/3
@IndyNile : Hi, I’m Gabriel! I’m a writer & drag artist, currently in my third year at @CSSDLondon . A lot the inspiration for my work - both within drag & theatre – is drawn from exploring identity, masculinity, and class, often through a queer, surrealist lens. 1/2
I am currently completing a residency with @littlefishtheat , which involves leading workshops to help young people achieve their Arts Award, as well as write their very own short play. 2/2
