Grahamstown National Arts Festival 2009

Another exciting highlight of the 2009 Grahamstown National Arts Festival will be the Writing Beyond the Fringe initiative, which will give writers who have written at least one script that has previously been staged on the Fringe programme of the National Arts Festival the opportunity to take their literary works beyond the South African borders.
