Common Thread with Ilisha Thiru Purcell

An evening of sharing stories and creative writing. Scratching creative itches in pursuit of our own common thread.

Alphabetti theatre has partnered with Ilisha Thiru Purcell, to bring a regular creative writing evening focused on sharing stories and companion writing. In this book club/writing workshop hybrid evening, Ilisha guides us through monthly themes and a curation of written pieces, that we can reflect on together and inspire us to create. Write together, share together, make room for our creative expression together.
