The IT

First commissioned and produced by The National Theatre Connections in 2020. 'The IT’ by Vivienne Franzemann, is a darkly comic state of the nation play exploring adolescence and the rage within, written very specifically for today.

2021

A Christmas Carol

Set in the beautiful surroundings of BELL COURT and as part of Stratford-upon-Avon’s vibrant Victorian Christmas Market.  

The performance was open air, so audience members wrapped up warm and were able to soak up the Dickensian atmosphere of this much loved tale.

2021

Find A Partner

Find A Partner, by Miriam Battye, was performed as part of the annual youth theatre initiative from the National Theatre, Connections 2021, designed to give young people all over the country an experience of theatrical performance and production.

Venue: Open Air at Stratford Racecourse & Digital at The Belgrade, Coventry. 

 

The play is a fascinating story of dating in dystopia - Love Island and Take Me Out meets The Hunger Games - and contestants who fail to find a partner, are taken out, literally. Pop culture references, explorations of social media, self absorption and reality show tampering generate important questions about how we find, and define, love in a modern climate.
