Two new literary double bills celebrating the life and works of Wilfred Owen and Sylvia Plath and Rudyard Kipling and James Joyce are set to be staged at Liverpool’s St George’s Hall this March.

The Write Event sees four new productions by leading local playwrights give fresh insight into the lives and works of these authors and will be presented on March 16-17.

A Dream of Wilfred Owen returns to the Concert Room in the first of this two-part double bill and will be performed by writer David Charters and singer Lucia Novosadova.

The second performance sees the world première of The Belfry by Dean Johnson and John Gorman. Taking its name from the famous novel The Bell Jar, the play will see John take to the stage to play the neighbour of Sylvia Plath, who will be portrayed by Novosadova.
