The Stage

Our thanks go to our amazing Associates, our Partners and most of all to the young theatre makers that have been part of NSDF through 2019.


Here’s the citation from The STAGE:

James Phillips, Kim Grant and Lizzie Melbourne 
National Student Drama Festival

NSDF was the first organisation to create a fully online festival in response to the pandemic, opening two weeks after the first lockdown with a full programme of workshops, debates and mentoring. It attracted more than 10,000 attendees from around the world. It also set up a series of programmes to increase its reach and the diversity of the young artists as well as offer education opportunities, masterclasses, mentoring and exposure. All of it has been open to everyone and offered free of charge.
