Sorry, you’re not a winner, The Drum, 24 February – 12 March
Liam and Fletch grew up together. Born on the same street. Best mates since primary. Inseparable. The only difference was while Fletch was getting suspended from school, Liam was studying. And now he’s going to Oxford. But with Liam gone, who’s going to keep Fletch out of trouble?
A striking new play from Samuel Bailey, whose debut play Shook won him the 2019 Papatango Prize and Times Breakthrough Award in 2021, Sorry, you’re not a winner is a play about aspiration, social mobility and getting caught between class. It asks; if ‘making it’ means leaving everything you know and everyone you love behind – what’s the point?

LunaF I've been impressed by the play "Sorry, you're not a winner" as it reminds me of my studying years. I've been studying hard and doing my best to keep my academic performance at a high level. And I also have a friend who hasn't paid a lot of attention to his studying. He has always used https://paperell.net/buy-thesis to buy a thesis online or get other help with tasks. Surprisingly for everyone, now he is a postgraduate student at Oxford like Liam, and I'm sure he has a great future. We are still friends, and I would like to visit this play with him. I guess that it should be a great opportunity to remember those times! rentersi@proton.me Frankly speaking, I love this holiday! Moreover, recently I decided to make greeting cards with this holiday theme and used the https://depositphotos.com/vector-images/happy-new-year.html for this purpose. I can discover everything I need for my project right here. Also, this service provided me with a variety of ideas that motivated me.
