Laura Duckett

Writer Theatre maker Producer Lyricist

I studied English and creative writing and finished my degree with a dissertation on race, identity and passing in African American Literature. I’ve just completed an MA in human rights, culture and social justice and I use my craft to explore identity and belonging with the aim of attracting new audiences to theatres.
