A Conversation with my Father
"[...] as topical in these days of police 'kettling' and undercover provocateurs as it might be timeless in its questioning of the basis of a functioning civic society." - Wayne Burrows

Songs for Breaking Britain
"[...] defies the media's lucrative monopoly on our narratives [...] funny, compassionate, heart-breaking and very, very loud." - Catherine Love

Equations for a Moving Body
"So interesting, engaging and relatable. Beautifully human." - Audience feedback in Newcastle

About the Author
Hannah Nicklin is a theatre maker, poet, game designer, producer and sometime academic. She has written a PhD about how theatre-influenced games and games-influenced theatre can destroy capitalism. Hannah is most interested in DIY, community storytelling, tools that break systems, and the spaces between 'what is' and 'what if' where new thinking happens. Her favourite place is not working. Her favourite kind of not work is swimming long distances and cycling even longer ones. (Work is made up. Do less of it.)
