Simon Stephens, award winning playwright (with his work appearing at theatres around the world), visited Chorlton High to provide our young creatives with an extraordinary writing workshop!

Students created characters through a series of thoughtful exercises, drawing inspiration from moments in their own lives, and developing details and indicative qualities that make them who they are. They placed them in an emotional scene, adding dialogue and stage direction, before performing their new piece to each other in pairs.

Our students’ time with Simon really opened their eyes to the possibilities of writing, both for themselves and for the stage, to explore issues, emotions and actions that tether us all together in life.

Our sincere thanks to Simon, for your time, wisdom, and enthusiasm, and to our impeccable students.
