Sleeps with Tigers — Award-Winning Play Written by a Survivor
Earlier this year, we shared news about Sleeps with Tigers, a powerful and deeply personal play written by a survivor of abuse. The play, which explores themes of survival, trauma, and resilience, resonated deeply with many in our community — including some MSP members who were able to attend the performance.
We’re delighted to share that Sleeps with Tigers was awarded the Original Scriptwriting Award at the Leverhulme Drama Festival in April 2025. This recognition is a testament not only to the writer’s courage but also to the play’s ability to spark important conversations and move audiences.
Brian, the writer of Sleeps with Tigers, has kindly offered to share the script with anyone in the sector who may wish to read it. If you’d like to request a copy, you can contact him directly:
