Gulbenkian Young Company presents...

Gary McNair’s No Regrets is the culmination of 5 years of conversations with people of all ages, backgrounds and experiences.

From the silly to the profound, the play charts how regret shapes our relationships with other people and ourselves. Stories of love, violence and staying for just one more drink collide to give us a deeper understanding of what it means to regret.

No Regrets is performed as part of National Theatre Connections 2025.

National Theatre Connections is an annual nationwide youth theatre festival in the UK, organised by the National Theatre. It brings together young performers aged 13–19 to stage and perform new plays written by some of the best contemporary playwrights. The programme provides schools and youth theatre groups with the opportunity to create professional-quality productions, culminating in performances at local partner theatres and potentially at the National Theatre in London. Connections celebrates creativity, collaboration, and the talent of young people, inspiring the next generation of theatre-makers.

Suggested age suitability: 14+

Content warnings:

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
