My First Play is a remarkable collection of first-person accounts from many of the UK’s leading playwrights about the plays and events that first influenced them: here we have Caryl Churchill performing Cinderella to her parents with a cast of dolls and stuffed animals; Howard Brenton pinching his first main character from a boy’s comic; Jack Thorne having to become a thief to get his first play on; Conor McPherson still waiting to write his ‘first play’.
