‘The [Soho] Writers’ Festival is just this really amazing time!’ Nina Steiger is enthusing over the phone from the Soho Theatre and Writers’ Centre. Everything that is exciting about Soho and the writing community in London just seems to converge on the centre for three weeks, she adds.
‘There’s this incredible atmosphere of people celebrating the process, the written word – we’ve got people doing plays off the balconies, in the elevators and in the bathrooms. There’s this really exciting explosion of new plays and new ideas.’
