Naomi Says Goodbye to the Programme
What was your experience of theatre before you joined the programme? Before I joined the programme, I’d say I was more focused on myself as an actor, I had been accepted to study acting at LSBU and writing was more of a hobby or something I did on the side. I have always loved writing such as poems and stories, but I didn’t get into playwrighting till around August 2020. I was having weekly sessions with my acting tutor, and I read her some writing I did for my Advanced Higher English class at school, pieces I read her were two contrasting essays about the good and bad parts of lockdown. We decided then that these needed to be turned into a play, we worked on it through school, other lockdowns, not knowing if anyone would ever see it.
