The 2019 Playwriting Project.
In 2019, I worked as a Guest Playwright and Creative Writing Tutor for two months with the FLY Playwriting Project. As part of the project, I went into Springwood High School to teach playwriting lessons to Year 8-10 kids, with the aim of producing a script together to be performed at the FLY Festival, staged at the UEA Drama Studio.
Our murder-mystery-come-comedy was a hit with the audience! It was great to see the children’s smiling faces when they were able to show off to their parents and friends that they had written an actual play that had been staged!
Thank you to the FLY Playwriting Festival and Laughing Mirror Theatre Company for your efforts towards bringing the arts to young people in East Anglia.
