The Last Valentine

Autumn 2001

Almeida Islington and schools tour

Luce, The Last Valentine

" I wrote to him, to Ray, can’t say why I did it "

Incorporating both a schools tour and a week of performances at the Almeida, Glyn Maxwell’s verse play, The Last Valentine was the second of the Almeida’s participatory projects.

The project focused on new writing for people and by young people. The development of the writing culminated in staged readings in schools by actors from the original production.
