Confessions of a Very Old Man Who Knows by Maja Milanovic (Shortlist Snapshot) Confessions begins in the year 1900, the beginning of the 20th century. It is the story of Milan and his Serbian family, deeply rooted in tradition. We see how the family lives, and hear from their forefathers, ultimately moving to the last day of the 20th century. Milan is now 130 years old, and he recounts his life experiences with new family members. A play full of poignancy and fondness for the family unit. English Civil War by Jack Williams (Writers Workshop) A quirky comic take on an imagined civil war that ruffles rather than rips apart a polite yet reactionary England. A Day in the Life by Darron J Ward (Writers Workshop) Metmah is a control freak, Frank is suicidal and Kirsty is longing for love. Sometimes Monday to Friday seems to be the same until one person comes along. A skilful piece of writing reflecting on how small incidents can change our life.
