New Stages for Sex, Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary Theatre

Playwrights

Charlie Josephine

„I’m Charlie, my pronouns are they/he. I’m an actor. And a writer. And more recently a director and dramaturg.

My brain is fizzy and my body likes to move. I’m proper passionate about making art that’s honest, visceral, sweaty. Particularly stories that centre working class women and queer people.“

Stef Smith

„Originally from a small village near Stirling in Scotland, Stef studied Drama and Theatre Arts (with a specialism in directing) at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh. Stef has worked as both an individual artist and with other theatre makers. Her work is predominately political seeking to unearth unheard stories and it always aims to examine both the lightness and darkness of life. […]

Most notably in 2012 Stef won an Olivier for the show RoadKill. In 2013 she was invited for a residency to the Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada. She also appeared on The Lists Top 100 Cutural Contributors for 2015 and was named by the Independent as a part of a ‚new generation of British playwrights who will dominate 2017‚. In 2020, she was a finalist for the worlds biggest prize for female playwrights. In 2022 she won Best Writer at the Royal Television Society Awards for her young adult series Float.“
