Writers’ Room: Finding Turner
Part of the Writers' Room Festival.
Written by Mary Onions.
“Nobody is a great artist until the critics say they are.”
Unlike those keen to exploit his extraordinary talent, Bill Joseph, the lad from Margate, comes to understand that true art doesn’t have to come with a price tag.
Mary Onions’ Finding Turner is a lively and refreshing new comedy.
Finding Turner was developed as part of the Marlowe Theatre Writers’ Room Advanced Playwriting course.
