In a dilapidated North London bedsit, Ye, a disgraced violinist is preparing to kill herself. The surprise arrival of Simona, an aspiring musician and wealthy heiress, throws her plans into disarray. Together the pair embark on a series of lessons that will test the limits of friendship, music, and success.
A Pupil was first workshopped at RADA in 2014 as part of their New Writing programme. An early version of the script was given a rehearsed reading at Park Theatre as part of their script accelerator programme in 2015. In 2018 the production had its world premiere at the Park Theatre.
