Abi Falase is a writer and director who wrote the newest Dr Who novel, Eden Rebellion.

On Tuesday 18th March, they led a talk in K10 about their experiences at BGS as a student and how they got into directing and scriptwriting.  Not only are they a novelist, they have also written multiple scripts for TV shows and plays, including The Village, as well as being the director of Rush at the Almeida Theatre and Rift at the Immediate Theatre.

Abi gave us some tips on how to start writing, which included presenting your own views and being authentic to yourself. The talk was very compelling and inspired us all to pursue our interests, no matter how difficult it seems.
