Devon writer prepares for a busy 2016

East Devon writer Clive Essame prepares for a busy 2016 with new plays, a series of workshops, youth projects, the publication of his first novel - Beating the French at Petanque - and the creation of a new website in the pipeline.

If you’re tempted to try your hand at writing yourself then Clive’s Writing for Welbeing courses start soon at The Beehive in Honiton and at Kennaway House, Sidmouth, or if watching theatre is more up your street then the comedy Honeymoon for One is being produced in Ottery St Mary in July.

Much of Clive’s work benefits the communities he works with and delivers important lessons about mental health and wellbeing, like the story of a young elephant negotiating depression in Clive’s most recent play Mbali, and a lion overcoming disability in Impisi.

If you fancy seeing one of our favourite stories re-worked by the Honiton Youth Drama group, where he also works, then keep an ear open for their adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, the exciting new project for Summer 2016.
