Director Adam Lenson’s winning project is a new rock musical about the Brontë family written by Christopher Ash and Carl Miller.
Wasted is an explosive musical drama that tells the remarkable true story of four young people with huge passions and amazing dreams. The misfit kids from a Yorkshire village yearn to be heard, find fame beyond their wildest hopes and die tragically young. Full of energy, emotion and humour with songs inspired by these shocking, controversial geniuses, Wasted is the Brontës as you have never seen them before.

“This is a career defining opportunity for me to be able to direct a major workshop of a stunning new British musical and to get to work closely with the writers up until and beyond that workshop. I am so grateful for this first show of support for a project that I wholeheartedly believe will go the distance and can help redefine what the British musical can be.” Director Adam Lenson
