The success of the Netflix show Adolescence has thrust its young, previously unknown cast into the spotlight. Critics have claimed that these actors emerged from nowhere, but representatives from grassroots drama schools point out the rigorous training and dedication that have gone unnoticed. Drama MOB and Articulate Drama School, mentioned for their contributions, have fostered talent from underrepresented communities, including the show's breakout star Owen Cooper. His extensive training and prior acting experience challenge the narrative of sudden stardom, revealing a broader issue of regional voices being sidelined in the arts.
To overlook the hard work of the young actors from regional drama schools behind Adolescence is to ignore the significant investment in talent from underrepresented communities.
Owen Cooper's journey to stardom was not a sudden discovery; he trained diligently at the Drama MOB, illustrating the importance of grassroots drama education.
