Allied to Alan Gilbey's East End Speed History, who have been telling tales less told in Tower Hamlets for over a decade, these free sessions will seek to spark the creation of new true stories through lively exercises, mutual support, and (yes!) homework.

We’ll explore ways of presenting Tower Hamlets' past for the audiences of today. Commencing in September, a strictly limited number of places are available for new participants to join the existing troupe, but please book only if you feel you can attend all six sessions.

The course will be held on the second Thursday of every month, commencing on 12 September, from 5pm till 7pm.
