Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Whole
What happens when you're in a hole? What happens when that hole's inside you? What do you do you fill it with to make yourself feel whole? Last year, 3 teenagers emailed the 20 Stories High Theatre Company to ask them if they could make a play about their friend Holly. This is how it unravelled… 3 teenagers: …So that’s our story and we really want to tell it... and we want to act in it as well, and play ourselves… cos actors wouldn’t really be as convincing as us… 20 Stories High: It’s a very moving story… but we’re really busy at the moment and also, to be honest, you’re not really actors. 3 teenagers: But we really want to tell our story… it says on your website that “Everybody has a story to tell… and their own way of telling it…” 20 Stories High: …well, come back in a year, when we’re less busy, and let’s talk… One Year Later… We made the play with them… WHOLE Winner of the Writers' Guild Award for Theatre Play for Young People 2013.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Hearing Things
Hearing Things explores the dilemmas of psychiatry from the points of view of patients, relatives and staff. Based on experiences of psychiatrists and patients, the ‘healthy’ and the ‘ill’, the play examines how and if people heal and recover inside institutions. As part of the research process, staff and patients at Homerton University Hospital and the Maudsley Hospital in south London took part in drama programmes creating characters and improvising scenes , with clinicians and those receiving treatment swapping roles. Using a unique collaborative process between patients, psychiatrists and mental health staff, Playing ON Theatre Company drew together the stories of those receiving and providing mental health care culminating in performances at the hospitals and in theatre spaces. At the Maudsley, as a result of taking part, two patient’s progress was so great that doctors allowed their early discharge. The script of Hearing Things was informed by these workshop programmes and by the participants.
