Opening Event: Radical New Futures

Authors From Home Tickets: Free

Join us to launch this year’s festival as we give a taste of what’s in store over the next ten days. We’re joined by poet, playwright and performer Hannah Lavery, whose recent works The Drift and Lament for Sheku Bayoh both call for accountability from a society that remains determined to look the other way. We also welcome writer Laura Waddell, whose recent book, Exit, is a wide-ranging exploration of exit signs and what might be on the other side. Finally, we hear from Renfrewshire local Alan Bissett with his new novella Lazy Susan, the unusual format of which explores many possible futures for a young social media influencer on the party scene.
