The New Works Festival 2015

Four Original Works by University Students

Young love. Young heartbreak. Where were you the first time you had your heart really broken? The first time you stumbled to be truly honest about your feelings - even though you knew it may hurt or shock the other person? The workshop production of these plays gives us little glimmers of young writers who are striving to go to the messy places of love. The places where we don't know what to say, where we blurt out the unimaginable, and where the ghosts of our past rattle the windows of the present. Love is a process  and so is playwriting.  These dynamically different plays explore finding the truth and finding the story. We invite you to go on a journey with us, sharing your own stories of love and
reflecting back to the makers what moves, confuses, and surprises you in these plays.
