The Words Will Come

Bringing together five plays commissioned specially for the RADA Elders Company, this anthology provides a selection of dynamic and thought-provoking works for elders companies anywhere.



The RADA Elders Company began in 2013 in order to provide opportunities for older people to experience the academy's training at its best. Each year, a playwright is invited to create a new piece for the company, encompassing a wide range of theatre disciplines and skills.



This collection features five pieces that showcase the breadth and diversity of RADA Elders commissions:



Broken Pieces by A. C. Smith

Our Father by Deborah Bruce

The Word by Nell Leyshon

Down the Hatch by Frances Poet

Of Blood by Christopher William Hill
