BSA Yr 2 diploma students present I & the Village by Silva Semerciyan, directed by Anne Musisi
Summer in small-town America. Aimee Stright wants to be Banksy in a town that hates vandals. As outsiders investigate what happened on the day she walked into a church with a gun, it seems Aimee is one against the world and the world wants to know why.
Shortlisted for the Bruntwood Playwriting Prize, I And The Village is a coming-of-age story that asks pointed questions about conformity, dissent and America's devotion to guns.
The play received its world premiere at Theatre503, London, on 9 June 2015.
'It's that rarest of things - a genuinely emotionally engaging dilemma play, blooming into a funny, full-hearted exploration of cultural relativism, moral absolutes and the plurality of womanhood.' -- The Stage on 'Gather Ye Rosebuds'
