Unlocked
Writing from the Cheshire Prize for Literature 2020 edited by Simon E.Poole and William Stephenson. 'I AM STARS', a monologue by a young woman with a learning disability was highly commended in the Scriptwriting category.
‘Aside from the sheer variety of writing, immediate and alive as an ambulance at full speed, is the importance of the work which feels as essential historic document of wonders that we will return to after the pandemic is well and truly behind us. Impressive, exciting and memorable!’
