Is the Playwright Dead? (and, if not, should s/he be?)

David Edgar is a leading British playwright, who has written extensively for the National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company, for whom he wrote a multi-award winning adaptation of Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby. He founded Britain's first playwriting MA and was President of the Writers' Guild.

This is a Writers at York event.
