8th Time of the Writer, International Festival of Writers The 8th Time of the Writer, International Festival of Writers, brings together over 25 writers from South Africa, Africa and the rest of the world to engage in a six-day programme. Activities include nightly readings at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre and a stimulating range of day activities, including an educators' forum, schools visits, prison writing project, a workshop on women's writing, and a publishing forum, all designed to nurture a culture of reading, writing and creative expression. One of the focal themes at this year's festival is negotiating identities, and examining the complexities that arise from issues of race, nationality and language.
