Just Write 2020

During October half term the Stag Youth Theatre rehearsed and staged 11 short plays inspired by lockdown, just days ahead of a second lockdown.

11 members of the youth theatre came forward during lockdown to write short plays inspired by recent events. Many months later, after several drafts, rewrites and read-throughs we had our 11 scripts. Each play had a creepy twist to fit in with our Halloween theme - stories about isolation, mental illness and human nature. The scripts were of such high quality we've decided to make this an annual event.
