Platform Plays

Platform is an initiative from Tonic Theatre in partnership with Nick Hern Books.

Aimed at addressing gender imbalance and inequality in theatre, Platform comprises big-cast plays with predominantly or all-female casts, written specifically for performance by school, college and youth-theatre groups.

Platform was named as Outstanding Drama Initiative at the Music and Drama Education Awards 2021.

'Drama is an important tool for building confidence and empowering young people. Platform will give girls opportunity to access these benefits as much as their male counterparts' Moira Buffini

'When it comes to giving more opportunities for girls onstage these plays could provide the platform to get there. I urge you to explore them all' Ink Pellet
