Stuart Slade's play Glee & Me is a monologue play about a sixteen-year-old girl dealing with being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour. The play opens with sixteen-year-old Lola explaining that she considered naming the play after the aggressive form of brain tumour she's afflicted with - Glioma Multiforme - but then realised it would have been too depressing and so settled for Glee & Me. She recounts the story of the seizure that led to the medical tests and the eventual diagnosis ('When I heard that I was going to die I pissed myself laughing'). Realising that she has so little time remaining, she stops going to school and comes up with two key objectives: to get laid; and to discover, definitively, the meaning of life. It won the Judges Award in the 2019 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting.
