Daniel Barker, a second-year Drama student, is one of ten winners of the Royal Court Young Writers’ Festival 2007.

The festival forms part of the Royal Court Young Writers’ Programme, a department of the Royal Court Theatre that is committed to opening up theatre to the most exciting and diverse range of new voices. It aims to develop and perform the best in new writing for the theatre, encouraging writers from all sections of society to create contemporary drama, and to promote their work to new and existing audiences.

Barker’s play, Early Bird, examines contemporary family life, ‘exposing a mess of lust, lies, and a missing strand of morality’. A rehearsed reading of the play will take place in the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs on Thursday 25 January at 7.45 pm. Tickets can be booked at www.royalcourttheatre.com.
