The Arts In Berwick -- Theatre
Ann Coburn

The Borough's current leading playwright is Ann Coburn.

A writer of children's stories, set in the Borough, she made her name with "Get Up and Tie Your Fingers", a powerful evocation of the Eyemouth fishing community at the time of the fatal storm of 1881.

Subsequently she has turned to contemporary themes with "Daytime", about a TV chat-show, premiered by the Maltings Community Theatre, and "Safe", shown at the Maltings in 2001.
