A call to arms: When This Is Over

With the impact of both climate change and Covid weighing on the minds of the nation's young people, what better time for theatre to address these issues head on. Thanks to acclaimed youth-theatre group Company Three, young people have been sharing their experiences and hopes for the future in the collaborative and innovative project When This Is Over.

Theatre companies and groups from across the UK have been performing their own unique version of the brand-new play since September. It sees young people tell stories from the stage, to highlight and amplify the voices of a pivotal generation at a pivotal time. From Manchester's Royal Exchange to Caerphilly Youth Theatre and Company Three themselves, versions of When This Is Over have been springing up nationwide.
