Natalia Nagy
Writing for theatre is the most rewarding thing I do nowadays, therefore I will take any opportunity that presents itself. I took part in 100 Word Plays last year and had a brilliant time, have learned a lot and met some amazing people so I was delighted to be invited again. In the meantime I have finished my degree in theatre and got my work performed in events such as the Camden Fringe. As a writer I find strict guidelines challenging and comforting at the same time, and knowing how much fun it will be to participate I am filled with creative anticipation. I am myself very curious which hundred words will make up my next play - and for me this is the most enjoyable in all theatre related projects: It is a journey into the unexpected.
Kathryn Simmonds
Kathryn Simmonds recently completed the New Writing Programme at The Royal Court and is working on her first stage play.  She won the Poetry London competition in 2006 and has been working on various poetry projects, including a book of parallel translations with four Serbian poets.

Her first radio play will be broadcast by Radio 4 early next year and her poetry collection ‘Sunday at the Skin Laundrette’ is forthcoming. She lives in north London.
