JT reaches First Stage
A new play by PhD in Poetry student JT Welsh was staged at Manchester's Library Theatre on 26 January. 'When Tom Comes' was one of four plays included in First Stage Night, which was part of the 2009 Manchester Re:Play Festival.
Over 60 writers, devisers and performers submitted new ideas, and competed for the chance to test their work in development. JT's play was very well received by audience members on the night, who later fed back to him during a post-performance discussion session.
