About the Book

We invite you to open your imagination and take a journey through twenty bold, inventive, and moving stories from the writers of UEA’s 2025 MA Scriptwriting cohort. Across family kitchens and monster-infested forests, space cafés and strange rivers that steal memories, these pieces explore what it means to love, to grieve, to dream, to fail, and to connect—however messily. Within these pages you’ll find unexpected road trips, a birthday dinner full of unspoken truths, explosive art installations, a Jenga game that mirrors a relationship’s collapse, and a playground military coup masterminded by fourth graders. You’ll witness golden retrievers sipping coffee with aliens, security guards bonding over wordplay, talking motivational fish, and swans sparking viral scandals in the age of AI. From tangled situationships to family fallouts, career callings to moral dilemmas, failed robberies to misguided murder, this anthology touches the surreal, the intimate, and the utterly unexpected—with heart, wit, and guts. Featuring an introduction by scriptwriter and course director Steve Waters, and a foreword by acclaimed playwright Lucy Kirkwood, this collection showcases twenty emerging voices finding their power on the page—and giving us all a glimpse of what stories can be.
