Quick Fix by Laura Theis

Laura Theis grew up in a whitewashed house in Waldperlach’s Fairy Tale district, where each street bears the name of a mythical creature. Her short stories, songs, radio plays and poetry have been broadcast and published in Germany and the UK. She has been awarded a Distinction in Creative Writing from Oxford University. Laura is the winner of the 2017 AM Heath Prize, has twice been nominated for the Tassilo Award and was Artist in Residence at Feniks Theatre Antwerp.
