Stories by Young Critics

This year’s AAF young critics come from a wide range of backgrounds and interests, from academic writing and post-graduate study in other industries, to movement, devising, directing, playwriting, crewing and event planning. Most have trained in acting and have extensive experience in the youth programmes at Indian Ink, ATC, Pop-up Globe, and Massive.
