Ten thrilling new plays for young people, commissioned by the National Theatre from some of the most exciting writers we know.
A nationwide celebration of young theatre talent and a chance to perform at theatres across the UK.
The National Theatre and its partner theatres across the UK have recently recruited 200 passionate and committed young theatre companies to be part of Connections 2011 and Highly Sprung Performance Group are very proud to be one of them.
So what does this mean for us?...
Being part of National Theatre Connections will give us the chance to stage a brand new play, written specifically for actors aged 13-19, we will perform in a local venue and at a festival with other Connections companies at Warwick Arts Centre in May 9th-13th 2011.
The National Theatre will be supporting us with advice on choosing the script and on staging our play, there is also an intensive week-end's training for the directors of the company.
We are currently in the process of choosing our script and would welcome you to take a look at the synopsis for the ten new plays by visiting:
