Charlotte Giles

MA Drama Writing Student


Biography

Charlotte is a Welsh writer from Newport. Her work so far explores Welsh history, language, identity, magical realism and coming of age. Charlotte graduated from the University of South Wales in 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Drama and was shortlisted for The Alpine Fellowship Theatre Prize 2024.

Charlotte is particularly interested in writing for television and film after the course, with a few ideas in development, including a crime drama television series. While on the MA in Drama Writing, Charlotte has shown an interest in creating theatre for children and families, with a play based on the Cottingley Fairies currently in development.

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
