15-year-old student from Croydon, Kiera Grierson, has been announced as the winner of this year’s New Views competition — the annual playwriting competition for young people.
1063 students from schools and colleges across the UK took part in New Views this year, learning about playwriting through workshops and mentoring from professional writers, writing their own 30-minute plays.
As part of New Views, schools have the chance to watch NT productions and teachers take part in professional training to support their students.
Grierson’s play was chosen by a panel of judges from across the industry including actor Archie Barnes, NT Writer in Residence Iman Qureshi, theatre director Mumba Dodwell and NT Associate Dramaturg Sasha Milavic Davies.
