We can now announce the four writers who have been selected for the Deafinitely Creative Programme 2012/13. They are; Mathew Gurney, Aliya Gulamani, Lianne Herbert and Charlie Swinbourne.

For the first time, the company decided to only accept submissions from writers they had previously worked with and we were extremely impressed with the high standard of the applications. The story ideas submitted were highly imaginative and full of potential – which made the selection process that more difficult. However, we are thrilled to start work with these four writers and look forward to showing their work via the 4Play showcase in Spring 2013.

Watch a follow-up feature on Love's Labour's Lost on the BSL Zone's The Hub. There are interviews with the actors during rehearsals and footage of reactions from the public at The Globe. It can be viewed online here (we are 17 minutes into the episode): http://www.bslzone.co.uk/bsl-zone/the-hub-2-programme-6/
