Mortal Fools X Newcastle Carers
Mortal Fools and Newcastle Carers are joining forces to empower young adult carers to engage with the arts and creativity.
Mortal Fools will be working with Newcastle Carers' Young Adult Carers (YAC) group, to co-design a creative intervention that is responsive to their ideas and needs, whilst supporting the group’s wellbeing, skills development, and creative health. |
Watch This SpaceChange is everywhere; it’s scary, fun, unexpected, exciting, overwhelming, hopeful and so much more. But for young people, change often happens TO them – adults make the decisions, and they have to deal with the dizzying consequences.
In Summer 2025, our Youth Theatre groups explored the changes in their lives - holding tight to the things they love, making their own decisions, and discovering who they are. They might not know what the future will hold, but they’re ready for it! |
BrainstormIn Spring 2025, Mortal Fools’ Ensemble Young Company toured Brainstorm - an honest, funny, and thought-provoking theatre show diving into the messy mechanics of the teenage brain!

Light UpBetween Autumn 2024 and Spring 2025, our Youth Theatre
groups were working on Light Up; exploring light, imagination, creativity and joy! We challenged our youth theatre to explore the ways in which light illuminates the beauty in the world around us, influences our mood and perspective, and in the absence of light, what mystery and magic may exist. |
