People From Brentwood, Essex
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Frantic Assembly
Frantic Assembly is a theatre production company. They have worked in over 40 countries and are widely studied as practitioners for A-Levels in the UK. Background Frantic Assembly was formed by three students of Swansea University in 1994. None of the three studied drama, but were inspired by theatre and wanted to create their own unique company. They wanted to create non-realistic pieces through the use of much movement and music, although they have always said that this should never stray away from the storyline. Their most notable production, in co-operation with The National Theatre, is ''The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time'', which won a Tony award for Best Play in 2015. In 2016, Frantic Assembly collaborated with State Theatre South Australia and Andrew Bovell to create ''Things I Know To Be True.'' This toured both Australia (2016) and the UK (2016 and 2017).
