‘Postcards From the Future’ is part of Arts 50, an exploration what it means to be British today.

I was commissioned to write and perform my piece at The Barbican, also part of their Open Fest, and it was aired this week on Sky Arts. You can watch the whole week of shows, or the episode with me here.

The shows include new work from many artists including Simon Armitage, John Godber, Nitin Sawhney, Lemn Sissay, AL Kennedy and me!

The show also includes clips from a discussion, ‘The Voice of Britain’, with John Godber, Jonathan Maitland, Lemn Sissay, Martha Barnett, Dreda Say Mitchell and me, to look at Britishness today from a writers point of view.
