From September 2025 to Summer 2026, Mortal Fools Youth Theatre are embarking on a hopeful new creative project, exploring who and what influences young people in Ashington today.
Since making Ashington our home since 2021, we’ve seen first hand that the town is teeming with inspiration, creativity and heritage; avenues full of stories, local legends, community spirit, and shared culture.
But influences aren’t just found in history; they are also found in the people who support us every day, the places that are special to us and the things that make us feel alive.
As Mortal Fools Youth Theatre delve into Ashington’s unique and colourful history, stay tuned as they make their mark on the present and influence Ashington’s next chapter; this project is about a story yet to be written...

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.
Join Mortal Fools Youth Theatre as they ride the waves of change 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! |
Sounding Board Digital!We passed the mic to our youth theatre members to show what really matters to them, as they use music to express their true selves and share what makes them feel happy and heard.
Check out the full collection of short films and music videos, filled with bold, thought-provoking lyrics, catchy tunes, and creative soundscapes! |
The Bigger PictureThe voices of 75 young people from Northumberland and the North East come together in a collection of short films, created by Mortal Fools Youth Theatre with Fly Girl Films and Mortal Fools’ associate artists.
