Both organisations will jointly lead an annual summer residency which will give young people the opportunity to learn skills in performing, as well as in creative and production roles under Covid-adapted conditions. 

The residencies will be held in Northampton, but will be open to young adults of all backgrounds from across the UK. 

In February 2021, the partnership will launch with two new co-productions performed by the NYT REP Company on the Royal stage. The first will be a 75th anniversary production of Animal Farm adapted by Tatty Hennessy and directed by Ed Stambollouian in collaboration with Kneehigh Theatre Company.
