SHETLAND Arts’ Screenplay and Wordplay festivals are due to return this year in a condensed format. Both events were postponed last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Kathy Hubbard will come out of retirement to once again take the Screenplay helm alongside curators Mark Kermode and Professor Linda Ruth Williams. 4 of 14Adverts It will take place from 1 to 5 September. Hubbard said: “The challenge we have is to deliver the ‘essential’ elements of Screenplay within whatever constraints Covid-19 places on us – and I’m really looking forward to helping to make that happen.” Writing festival Wordplay will be curated by Malachy Tallack in what will be its 20th year.
