The Student Guide to Writing: Playwriting Showcase

The Student Guide to Writing: Playwriting Showcase

Join us to see the winners’ play for The Student Guide to Writing: Playwriting, the new competition from the Bush Theatre, MA Dramatic Writing at Drama Centre London at Central Saint Martins, Writers at Work Productions and Oberon Books.

This new play is on the theme of what it means to be a student in the UK today.

With changes to funding, a decline in the number of students studying the arts in schools, the end of the creative writing A level, and a debate due on July 4th in the Houses of Parliament on whether arts subjects should be part of the new EBACC, what does the future have in store for students in the UK?

This show is written by the winners of The Student Guide to Writing: Playwriting
Vee Tames: schools winner
Titilola Ige: joint University winner
Monique Geraghty: joint University winner
Mufaro Makubika: joint emerging/general winner
Miriam Battye: joint emerging/general winner

This is a past event
