Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances this event Reading other people’s letters: A workshop in transcription with the English and Theatre Studies Team from WIT is POSTPONED until a later date, we will be in touch with everyone who has booked tickets soon to reschedule. Apologies for any inconvenience.

This workshop will provide a short insight into what it means to read and transcribe literary correspondence working from handwritten documents in all their complexity and uniqueness. The workshop will ask participants to notice, evaluate, decrypt and transcribe letters sent by Teresa Deevy to her friend and fellow playwright Jim Cheasty. The workshop will be interactive and participants will require old fashioned technologies such as pencil and paper and will consider postage stamps, special cancellation marks and postmarks in nerdish fashion. The workshop is designed as 30 minutes of epistolary delights!
