What to expect

Participants learn vocal techniques for stronger characterisation skills, increase their repertoire and their knowledge of both classical and contemporary plays.
this term’s plays
The Acid Test – Anya Reiss
Launched at the Royal Court in 2011, Reiss’s second play is a wild comedy that questions if there is any correlation between age and maturity.
Ghosts – Henrik Ibsen
Not for the faint-hearted, Ibsen’s strangely topical three act play tackles challenging subjects including assisted suicide, incest and STDs.
The Sugar Syndrome – Lucy Prebble
We find ourselves returning to Lucy Prebble (a Playworks favourite) to visit her award-winning 2003 piece that explores the digital life of a 17 year old and how it compromises her real interactions.
The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning -Tim Price
Tim Price investigates the story behind the accusation that Bradley Manning (now Chelsea Manning) released sensitive information from the Iraq and Afghan wars to Wikileaks in 2010.
