Immediate Release

DYSSING MONADYS is set to prove the literary world wrong with a new festival for dyslexic story makers opening at The Troy Bar in Hoxton Street, on Monday 6 October – 24 November 2008, as part of Adult Dyslexia Awareness Week.

missfit productions, the engine behind the festival, believes that being diagnosed with dyslexia is no longer an embarrassment. DYSSING MONADYS encourages dyslexic practitioners to come out of the creative closet and prove that their dyslexia is a gift.
“Although people with dyslexia learn differently and struggle with ‘Left Brain’ activities, they are often, original storytellers.” Festival Director, Lennie Varvarides.

DYSSING MONADYS is working with over 20 dyslexic practitioners and aims to be a permanent, annual fixture in the literary scene. The festival boasts of 8 nights full of new writing for theatre, film and poetry by British and International makers.
