  • MSt tutor Nikita Lalwani a judge for the Orwell Prize 2013

    MSt tutor Nikita Lalwani is a judge for the Orwell Prize 2013, the main prize for political writing in the UK.

    Nikita says she is looking for writing that is  “passionate, keeps you awake at night, shines a light where you may never have realised it needed to be shone”. She hopes “to be provoked, to read something refreshing and original”.  The “written form needs to charm, seduce caress”, she reminds, and she wants to find writing that “communicates politics in an accessible way”, writing that  can “ignite the imagination”.

    Submissions to the Orwell Prize 2013 close on  9 January 2013.
    The longlist is announced on  20 March 2013, the shortlist on 17 April 2013 and the winner on 15 May 2013.

    More information at the Orwell Prize website, including information on how to enter.

  • New work by MSt Tutor Alice Jolly: Paines Plough Performance, 1st November 2012

    Come To Where I’m From

    1st November.  Parabola Arts Centre, Cheltenham. 7.30

    The leading new writing company Paines Plough is asking playwrights from across the UK to write plays about the places they grew up. In villages and towns and cities, these plays will be performed by the writers themselves.
    In this special one-off performance at Parabola Arts Centre, playwrights from Gloucestershire come home to tell their tale. Come To Where I’m From will result in a theatrical tapestry of the UK, woven by writers asking if home really is where the heart is.

    The writers from Gloucestershire are:
    Alice Jolly
    Lucy Tyler
