A poster for ‘Glass’ by Jacob Kay, displayed at Royal Exchange as part of the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting award ceremony. At the right of the poster is a hand trapped underneath an icy, glass lake. To the left of the poster is the following text: It’s like I’ve been swimming right. Swimming for my entire life up until now. I know I can’t swim but that isn’t the point. So I’ve been swimming, free to surface above and dive below whenever I wanted. But now… Now suddenly, the top has frozen over. Without warning and… And I can’t surface.
