THE WRITERS
Giada Prestinari
Writer of 'Lungs'
I am many things. I am a playwright, dramaturg and editor. I work across a variety of media: theatre, film and visual art. I believe that the arts should spark conversations, fuel rage, and bring social change. But I’ve also never not cried during Me Before You.
I hold an MA in Text and Performance from Rada and Birkbeck and a BA in Philosophy from the University of Milan.
I moved to London almost 5 years ago. I like nature, but I’ve always lived in a hyper-urbanised society, and now I see squares and rectangles everywhere. So I backpack and walk through the mountains, whenever I can. I am learning to build my community and working on my sense of belonging.
