Remedies for the Unthinkable
April 2014

 Our first Play in a Week of 2014, inspired by Roald Dahl’s ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’’, which brought our audience into a science lab filled with potions. This show was devised by 13 young people, containing lots of special effects on-stage to make the potion-making even more immersive!

Our 2014 entry for the National Theatre Connections festival saw our cast of young people rehearse for three months and collaborate with a professional designer and musical director, with half of our cast recording an original soundtrack for the piece! Heritage was performed in a local venue, as well as being taken to Northern Stage for the regional festival.

You Are Very Sleepy
August 2014

Our Summer Play in a Week Project of 2014 was set in the world of  ‘’A Safe Space Hypnotherapy Centre’’, containing lots of audience interaction as we escorted our audience to the performance space, before blindfolding them at various points within the show, placing lots of focus on our use of sound and our diverse characters. This production was based on the novel ‘’The Demon Headmaster’’.

Light & Fire

Our final Play in a Week of 2014 presented a dark insight into a toyshop with a mysterious secret, devised entirely by our young people. Light and Fire was performed initially in a local venue in Riding Mill, before being toured to Ashington at the launch event of a new youth theatre in the area.
