Description

The National Student Drama Festival has been British theatre's best-kept secret for the last fifty years. Published as part of the Festival's golden anniversary, Raw Talent, celebrates the many hundreds of student productions that would otherwise be unjustly forgotten. Raw Talent is illustrated with over 100 photographs of the most outstanding productions presented at the NSDF, and features reminiscences from many of the Festival's alumni, including Simon Russell Beale, John Nettles, Tim Pigott-Smith, Alex Jennings, Michael Billington, Alan Yentob, Polly Teale and Roger Mitchell. Raw Talent includes a foreward by Timothy West and an Appendix containing a complete list of the plays produced at the Festival.
