From Nobel Laureates Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter to theatre greats Tom Stoppard and Alan Bennett to rising stars Polly Stenham and Florian Zeller, Faber Drama presents the very best theatre has to offer.

Music is hugely important in our lives – whether we’re listening or playing an instrument ourselves. It’s not long before one of the teacher’s tells Kofi: ‘You could be a real leader at this school, you know that?
