I agree where would theatre be without writersand writing does seem tohave become a lesser craft especially with all this chat room and text speak. Even some teachers seems to lack spelling and grammar skills ,I know language is constantly changing and original Shakespeare would probably need translating but let's not lose the beauty of the written word.

ReportIt is so great to see literary talent being encouraged, it is wonderful that performing arts have taken off like they have but think writing is being a bit neglected. It is a shame however that this competition implies the PRINTED word,it would be nice to see good handwriting encouraged more, I worry that it is a dying art.
