Unspoken: The Secret Power of Stammering
Hay Festival 2023,
From Lewis Carroll to Elizabeth Bishop, Marilyn Monroe to Emily Blunt, Aneurin Bevan to Joe Biden and King George VI, some of our greatest writers, actors, politicians and more have had a stammer that has shaped their relationship with language and influenced their creativity. Join poet and playwright Owen Sheers, patron of the British stammering association STAMMA, to discuss how a different kind of speech can gift a different kind of voice, with authors Margaret Drabble, Zaffar Kunial and Hannah Tovey.
