Join in the jamboree of turbulent conversation : hands-on how-to’s : schmancy-pants balls: spelling bees and all-out literary smackdowns. Set your compass to Newcastle and choose your own adventure through a five day festival that flings you Fleming-style from the hot tropics of the BURNing BROW luau to the sequin-drenched debauch of the Great Gatsby Ball! If you get lost, light up a flare at the Late Night Mystery Meat or regroup on Page 86 at the Sunday Zine Fair.
Be Prepared. Dib to the Dob. xoxo. NYWF
The NYWF takes place as part of the This Is Not Art (TiNA), a collation of festivals including Crack Theatre Festival, Sound Summit, Electrofringe and Critical Animals. It's unique. It's free. You should come and be part of it.
