Very proud of Paula Connolly for this achievement - proof that Scooter has a great life ahead of it

Create: the new writing initiative at The Actors Temple submitted Scooter by Paula A Connolly to BBC Script Room Drama 2019. This year they received 3634 drama scripts and we are delighted to announce that Scooter progressed to a second read for a 30 page sift. This means that although it didn’t reach the final stages on this occasion Paula’s writing was placed in the top 15% of all scripts received which is an incredible result. All power to Paula!

“Imagine a painter having his paintbrush and supplies taken off him, and being denied any chance to buy new tools, how would he be able to paint? In reality, without the tools to economically and socially prosper, disabled people are restricted, unable to achieve and display their talents.

A person can only do so much and, if there is no systemic acknowledgement of wrongdoing, then really you have no way of escaping the wall of inequality that surrounds you.”
JD Weaver
