How far do you go to keep your dream alive?
Carlos has a passion for performing, but the world is set up against that dream. By day, he struggles with GCSEs, the mundanity of school life, and the concept of wasting his best years on Pythagoras theorem. But by night his passions dance themselves alive, and his burning love triumphs over cold doubt. However, he dreams of a life he can’t quite reach, a world blocked by expectation. Still, he hopes that one day he’ll become who he wants to be.
Hello My Name Is… won the Royal Court Young Writer’s Award in 2025 and is a challenging but ultimately hopeful exploration of what it means to grow up.
