E V Crowe, a graduate of the Royal Court Young Writers Programme, brings her distinctive voice to the story of a heroic modern man in her new play, Hero.

Danny is gay, a primary school teacher, and he’s not afraid of anything. His colleague Jamie is straight, and thinks he should be.

Hero is directed by the Royal Court’s Associate Director Jeremy Herrin who previously worked with Cooke on her 2010 play Kin at the Royal Court.
