> This is Playwrite, a project organised as
> part of the Masterclass strand of
> activities that has run at the Haymarket
> since 1998. Four playwrights have been sent
> to schools in London and beyond to
> supervise the writing of 30-minute plays by
> A-level students.

> "Plays," she intones, speaking perhaps from

Well worth a read:
