Experience the latest work from some of the UK’s best playwrights in Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama’s celebrated new writing festival.
Award-winning playwright Roy Williams (RWCMD Writer in Residence) presents a piece about the importance of youth and the power of protest in Freedom: March on Selma, and the lyrical and punchy style of writer Charlie Josephine comes to life in Moon Licks. Really Bad from writer and director Louise Orwin, whose work has been described by The Guardian as “brave” and “taboo-breaking“, is performed alongside Jungle Green by Jacob Hodgkinson, Royal Welsh College’s seventh successive collaboration with Sherman Theatre.
