National Theatre Connections festival is a wonderful celebration of new writing and youth theatre. Given the nature of the project, the plays lend themselves well to educators seeking work for performance and exploration.
This edition includes eight new plays and two from previous collections. The cast sizes range from seven to 50, with a wide range of diversity and adaptability within the characters. Locations and accents are proposed with flexibility in all but one of the plays: Samphire. This piece, described by its dramaturg as a ‘double espresso of a play’, presents the most challenges of all those in the folio, but is a good option for an older or more advanced group.
