Join us on the edge for a new play by Debris Stevenson about neurodivergent twins learning to fly. Developed with a group of neurodivergent NYT members in association with Stanley Arts.
A dyslexic writer, Grime poet, hybrid actor and pro-raver. Debris remixed Much Ado About Nothing for National Youth Theatre’s REP Company to critical acclaim in 2023 and is reunited with director and NYT alumna Josie Daxter, who is an Associate Artist of The PappyShow and has worked with theatre company Complicite since 2010.
We are proud to acknowledge the support of our principal supporter Arts Council England and Christina Smith Foundation for the Alan Macdonald Bursaries for their support of StoryFest.
