This Monday novelist Kit de Waal will be talking to our colleague Dan Taylor about working class writers and the class ceiling, part of our series, Borders in Literature, with @mklitfest.bsky.social
16 Mar, 7pm, Zoom. Tickets (free): bit.ly/mklfdewaal #classceiling #workingclasswriters #literature

Counter‑Culture or Counter‑Productive? The Class Ceiling Debate — Ardent Theatre Company Rather than challenging the exclusion baked into the mainstream theatre ecosystem, the burden is pushed back onto the artists themselves: raise the funds, find the venue, do the marketing, subsidise the work with your own time or money — or do it unpaid.

Is working-class counter-culture breaking barriers—or building new ones? Read our latest blog on whether the fight against class inequality in theatre is creating a new class ceiling. Share your thoughts!

Excited to be speaking at the @CIHScotland #HousingFestival tomorrow! I have the privilege to speak alongside @SueCShone, Jehan Weerasinghe and Gerry Hassan, discussing whether social class remains a deterministic factor in the Scottish housing system. #classceiling
