New Views winning play to be performed in the Houses of Parliament

New Views is the National Theatre’s annual playwriting programme for 15-19s.  Each year hundreds of students from across the UK learn about playwriting from some of the finest writers in the business and write their own 30minute plays, with one play chosen to be staged at the NT with a professional cast.

This year’s winning play will be staged in the unique setting of Westminster Hall at the Houses of Parliament on 11 July 2012 – the first recorded instance of a play being staged in the space. There will be a further two opportunities to see the play at The Pop-up Workshop as part of National Theatre Inside Out on the South Bank on 12 and 13 July.

The winning play will be announced on 11 June.  Tickets bookable from 18 May from www.parliament.uk/artsinparliament or nationaltheatre.org.uk
