Do you dream of creating new pieces of theatre?

We’ve got just the thing for you…
And it all happens in just ONE week.

Our Play in a Week Summer School is back.

This summer we will be bringing together a group of extraordinary young people for a week of creating, rehearsing and performing. The week will be based at the Award Winning Theatre for young audiences The Egg which is part of Theatre Royal Bath. Our Youth Theatre has been resident at TRB for over 30 years, and every year becomes more and more ambitious. We aim to explore the fundamentals of drama in an engaging, inclusive and exciting way.

Led by a professional director and a team of technicians, the group will start with a theme and then work as a theatre troupe to create all aspects of the play in just 5 days.

Each age group will be matched up with a visiting practitioner who specialises in working with them.

At the end of the week, this brand new work will be brought to life for an audience on stage, with lights and sound, and a whole load of stagecraft.
