Misc — News & Updates — Likeminded Productions

I came to theatre pretty late in life. I was doing my masters degree in comedy (graduated with a distinction last year so, I was technically the funniest person in the country for a while there) when I saw the royal court Liverpool were running a yearlong course in writing for the stage. I had never given stage writing much thought. I was bottom sets in everything in school so we never did Shakespeare in English, but I thought I would apply with a radio play I won a runner up prize with a few years previous and, to my surprise, I was invited to take part on the course.
