Black Writers in their own words | The Characters are in Charge

The Amplify Project.  Black writers in their own words.  We’ve invited writers for the stage, page and screen to tell us about themselves, their work, what inspires them and why they write. In this episode writers Patricia Cumper and Pauline Walker are joined by Theresa Ikoko.  Theresa is an award-winning playwright and screenwriter.  Her awards include the Alfred Fagon Award for Best New Play and the George Devine Award for Most Promising Playwright.  With Clare Wilson, she co-wrote the screenplay for Rocks, which won the Best British Independent Film Award in 2020 and was shortlisted for a BAFTA for Best Original Screenplay.
