WoW Festival 2008

May 1st to May 31st

It’s 2008, and the writing is on the wall. With the whole city debating and engaging with its status as Capital of Culture, Writing on the Wall returns to the roots of that culture with history, drama, poetry, fiction, scholarship, journalism, and music. Throughout this month, our festival will ask some big questions about the nature of writing and its relationship to society. We hope our diverse array of guests, together with our audiences, will find the answers.  With such eminent thinkers as Tony Benn, and  Yasmin Alibhia Brown; with the imagination of Poliakoff,  and the irreverence of Howard Marks and John Cooper Clarke, WoW 2008 will be a profusion of ideas and creative energy.

Ticketed events are selling fast so don't miss out!
