Join us for the screening of a special dramatic reading of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s ‘The Cenci’ (1819) in partnership with Red Bull Theater and The Keats-Shelley Association of America. Based on a notorious case from Renaissance Rome, ‘The Cenci’ tells the story of Beatrice Cenci and her struggle against the brutal authority of her father. At once a family tragedy, a political drama, and a meditation on justice, the play remains one of the most powerful and unsettling works of the Romantic period. Although Shelley regarded ‘The Cenci’ as his greatest dramatic achievement and envisioned it performed on the finest stages of his day, the play has appeared only rarely over the past two centuries. This reading offers audiences a rare opportunity to experience the work as it was meant to be encountered: spoken aloud, shared in community, and brought to life through performance. Organised by Dr Natalie Harries, Research Fellow at the University of Aberdeen. Book free tickets via the link in our bio! 22 Oct 2026 Read the winner, runners-up and shortlisted poems from across Scotland for WayWORD Festival’s Ekphrastic Poetry Prize, announced earlier this month at the University of Aberdeen. // Ma tha ùidh agaibh ann am bàrdachd agus ealain, bheiribh sùil air an dàn a choisinn WayWORD Festival’s Ekphrastic Poetry Prize, a chaidh ainmeachadh o chionn ghoirid aig Oilthigh Obar Dheathain, agus air na dàin bhon gheàrr-liosta, le bàird bho air feadh na h-Alba. // Read the winner, runners-up an shortlistit poyems fae athort Scotlan fer WayWORD Festival’s Ekphrastic Poetry Prize, annoonced a curn o wiks past at the Varsity o Aiberdeen. 21 Oct 2026 I'm just getting round to posting pictures from WayWORD Festival at last. I was honoured to be exhibiting alongside the likes of Elizabeth Blackadder in the gorgeous Linklater Rooms. A super huge thank you to all the @waywordabdn festival team for looking after me so well. There are some pics of the DIY publishing event that my father and I were also part of. And a couple of the brilliant Japanese, paper theatre making workshop I went to (among many other brilliant events) during the final festival weekend. It's been such an intensely busy, emotional and high stress last few months for multiple reasons and I've crashed a bit the last few days, but WayWORD was a lovely highlight and distraction and I'm very happy and grateful to have been part of it. Massive well done to all involved!! 👏🙌💯 Thanks also to all who came to visit and bought work. You've all made this artist very happy! 🙏💚 I should try to tag people but I'm scared of missing folk out...and I'm very tired too 😬 15 Oct 2026 Some more highlights from our main festival weekend including The Centre for the Novel’s ‘Women Rewritten’ event with Mairi Kidd and Elle Machray, chaired by Dr Helena Ifill ✍️ And then the We Are Nature film and publication sharing on Sunday afternoon 🌱♥️ 13 Oct 2026 Many congratulations to the joint winners of the Elphinstone Institute’s 2026 Toulmin Prize – Andrew Urquhart and Alistair Lawrie 👏 Both winners received £300 each, supported by the grandsons of John Reid (pen name David Toulmin) in his memory, topped up this year by the Friends of the Elphinstone Institute to accommodate the joint win.
