Sometimes you crack.Sometimes you didnt mean to yell that.Sometimes you have to lay low until youve figured it outAnd sometimes, sometimes you have to hibernate until youve healed.This is a new day.Shedding a Skin is a story for our times. A play about finding kindness in unexpected places. A play about connecting with what our elders can teach us new skin honouring old skin. A play about joy, healing and protest. And having a good belly laugh.Written by Amanda Wilkin, the 2020 winner of Soho Theatres acclaimed Verity Bargate Award, introduces audiences to a fresh and fierce new voice.From a record number of 1493 entries for the 2020 Verity Bargate Award, Amanda Wilkins spellbinding play captivated the Awards readers and judges, including Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag), Lolita Chakrabati (Hymn), Russell T Davies (Its A Sin), Laura Wade (The Watsons) and Stephen Garrett (Character 7), and was announced as the winner in October 2020.
