Unity Theatre No One Way with... events are weekly informal discussions led by those working in the arts, where they will share their story, offer advice and resources that helped them on their way, and listen to any stories of yours.

This week’s session is lead by Liverpool playwright Luke Barnes (The Jumper Factory, The Young Vic; All We Ever Wanted Was Everything, The Bush Theatre & Middle Child).

Luke will discuss his career and the lessons he has learnt to date including how to articulate your projects to producers to instil confidence. He will also discuss the art of balancing what you’re trying to achieve as an artist, setting your own criteria for success, all whilst recognising the need for profile.
