It’s been 2 weeks since the Playwork Campference 2019 ended and I am surrounded by snotty tissues. No, I am not emotional that it is all over, this is just my compulsory post-project cold. I’ve got to say, this is the worst one I’ve had for a while...

By Morgan We were taught to write thank-you notes after people had been kind to us, and one thing this tour has proven is that extraordinary kindness isn’t really extraordinary after all. In fact, we met it in every stop, in every state, and before we’d...
