Tanpinar
Literary Festival is to be held in Istanbul in Turkey soon and it invites authors, writers playwrights young and
old to attend but the issue is not one that is often on the webpages of the Turkish Digest. I must admit I instantly considered going out to Istanbul to read my play References www.doollee.com which was commissioned by Dr Mustafa Melek Ceo Istanbul and had its first ever performance in England on 14 October 2009 at 4.05 to 5.15 pm with the parts of the play being read dare I say .. magnificently by the 6th and Upper 6th Formers of King Edward Vl School in Southampton and I as the playwright read the play too. ... so I await an
invitation with funding of course!
Its interesting to note that Seamus Heaney was in Vienna Austria at the invitation of the University of Vienna Institute of English and American Studies lecturing on Poetry ..as we all said at the bus stop this morning .. I can do that too . thanks Turkish Digest .. hope the Tanpinar Literary
Festival in Istanbul is a great success ... nice work!
