It was good, he gave new techniques to help us and shared some new warm-ups to help us prepare for our performance of 'Blackout'.

He won three Olivier awards for art directing

About a young lad who gets a bit lost after he grandad dies and gets bullied and takes it out on those around him.

Excited, really excited - brilliant opportunity

What about performing at the National in London if you win the competition?
That would be amazing!

Are you wearing the costumes from the play?
No, these are for the monologues. The play is called 'Blackout' so we're in all black clothes
