Fraser Grace, co-director of ICE’s Master’s in Writing for Performance, was in conversation with non-fiction writer and creative writing tutor Midge Gillies in this free Zoom event on Thursday, 8 May, 2025, 7-8pm, GMT.
Fraser is an award-winning playwright and author of ten plays and co-author of Playwriting – A Writers’ and Artists’ Companion. He talked about his first work of prose, Firestarter and what led him to turn for inspiration to a local story from the village of Great Shelford in South Cambridgeshire where he has lived for 28 years.
Firestarter is a form-busting piece of creative non-fiction based on the true story of a nineteenth-century arsonist and national cause célèbre.
