Ali Hardiman joins the Creative Team of The 24 Hour Plays in aid of Dublin Youth Theatre as a writer. After a rip roaring 2019, she is kicking off 2020 with a bang. And a truck load of cookies.

I’m having great fun rustling up the Q&As of the 2016 Creative Team for The 24 Hour Plays in aid of Dublin Youth Theatre supported by BNP Paribas Real Estate.
