Internationally acclaimed comedian and writer Sarah Jones is inviting students to take part in a focused research and development session for her new show, America, Who Hurt You?. This is a rare chance to step inside the creative process as Sarah scratches early ideas, tests new material, and invites thoughtful responses from students.

What you’ll do

• Take part in a guided conversation with Sarah about the themes and questions shaping the piece.

• Offer reflections and feedback that will directly inform the next draft.

• See first-hand how a new theatre work develops between page and stage.

How to take part

Please email Elizabeth (mailto:elizabeth.lawal@humanities.ox.ac.uk) with a brief paragraph (3–5 sentences) about your interest and any access requirements by 10 October. Places are limited; we will confirm attendance by the 12th.
