This term our Theatre School members will be working on one of three productions, performing in our Easter ‘Otherworlds: A Sci-Fi Festival’.
Exploring theatre making, acting and performance through the lens of the Sci-Fi genre. We will be looking at dystopian societies, the advancement of technology and the very core of human nature. Journeying through remote galaxies and staging some of the most exciting texts of the 21st century.
With opportunities to perform in a mid-scale production, devise, write or work backstage.
About the Periodicals:
Led by a professional director this group will rehearse and perform The Periodicals by Sian Owen as part of our festival.
In the not so far future a group of teenagers are on the run! Living off the land, off grid in their own rubbish dump turned paradise.
The education authorities are desperate to get them back to school, led by a ruthless education minister who would stop at nothing to ensure everyone is back in the system.
But for these fugitives’ school is not an option, as they scramble to secure a life where they can thrive under their own rules.
Can they allude the authorities forever? And what are the authorities so worried about anyway?
Watch this dystopian play, originally performed as part of the National Theatre’s 2024 Connections festival.
