First class student’s academic success spills onto the big stage


Frankie Jones, who has graduated from University of Chichester this year with a 1st class degree in English & Creative Writing, has taken her first steps towards a promising playwriting career following the debut rehearsed performance of Spill Me at The Churchill Theatre, Bromley, Kent.
Spill Me, is about an expectant mother and her fears surrounding pregnancy, childbirth and raising a child. Frankie commented; “I wrote it when I was in my final year at Chichester as part of the drama module. I learnt so much about myself as a writer on this course. I am really looking forward to developing my skills as a writer in the aim to write a full length play in the near future.”


Stephanie Norgate, English Tutor at the University added: “This initial success for Frankie so early in her writing career is really promising and again highlights the talent we continually produce here at Chichester, where many of our English & creative writing students go on to publish their work.”
