Join Sarah Jones for a one-off Research & Development session for students
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.
