    ARCHIVE
    When Jen asks Harold Pinter for help with her play, she’s hoping for straight answers. A new play about finding your own voice, special interests, neurodivergence, and a squirrel.

    What do you do when your neurodivergent brain isn’t playing ball? It would rather replay negative tweets and past traumas. Jen has decided the only way forward is to ask Harold Pinter for help – her play won’t write itself. The only problem is Pinter doesn’t play ball either, he much prefers cricket. Can Jen make this collaboration work and find some ND joy in the process? And while we’re at it, is Pinter a feminist and what on earth is gender anyway?

    A new unmasked play from the brain of Miriam Higgins featuring Harold Pinter (sort of).

    "Funny and wise, touching and intelligent, Miriam Higgins’ playful play is a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended."
    Harry Burton (Actor, Director)
    "Somehow [Higgins] managed to catch Tom Stoppard while sleeping and reached in to the darker side of his imagination"
    Henley Review for MERCUTIO AND TYBALT (2017)
    "This cleverly written and ambitious play will have you pondering about the nature of reality and the dividing line between it and fantasy"
    Buxton Fringe for DREAMSCAPE (2018)

    "Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
