Connections is our annual, nationwide youth theatre festival. The programme has been established for 30 years with a celebrated history of championing the talent of young people from across the UK.

Every year, we commission ten new plays for young people to perform, bringing together some of the UK’s most exciting writers with the theatre-makers of tomorrow.

We work with just over 260 youth companies and over 6,000 young people annually from every corner of the UK.

Performed 25 — 29 June 2024 in the Dorfman Theatre.
