The National Theatre has recently released a podcast on Audible called New Voices, made up of 10 audio plays with a range of lengths. The scripts are written by the young people involved in the National Theatre's New Views Programme – a scheme that enables young people to explore their playwriting skills by working with professional playwrights to produce 30-minute plays. The selected plays focus on a range of the themes from alcoholism, depression, identity and war.
If Not Now, When? by Isabel Hague is one of the standout plays in the collection: a beautifully written offering, with a range of dialogue and spoken verse to explore a range of poignant themes. This play includes a lot of strong language, so would be better suited to older students.
