New Writing

Everyone in Brave Bold Drama writes for the theatre. Sometimes we write scripts and hand them over to other people to play with. Going to watch what other people have made of your ideas is like opening the best present ever. We also direct and perform our own writing. We like to present our work at new writing opportunities as often as possible. It keeps our spirit of experimenting alive and kicking.
