Conversation so far:
When did Sue Townsend transition to a writing career?
Her new partner encouraged her to join a writers' group at the Phoenix Theatre, Leicester, in 1978.
Was this a good experience?
Initially too shy to speak, she did not write anything for six weeks, but was then given a fortnight to write a play.

Question: Did she write a play during this time?
Self-contained rewrite: Did Sue Townsend write a play during the fortnight?
