Secondary Partnerships Scheme with Oldham Coliseum

I was honoured to be commissioned to write a new play for secondary pupils, as part of Oldham Coliseum's Secondary Partnerships Scheme. 

I wrote 'Happy Place', which follows a Year 9 form on their first day back at school. They are faced with a Bake Off, TikTok dances, and an ABBA-tastic PE class. The play is full of humour and fun, but also explores issues such as mental health, coming out, and finding confidence.

It was a joy to watch local schools, including an SEN school, perform my play at the Coliseum at the Inter-Schools Festival.
