National Theatre Connections – Gulbenkian Young Company
NT Connections is the National Theatre’s nationwide youth theatre festival. Each year it offers a unique opportunity for youth theatres and school theatre groups to stage new plays written for young people by some of theatre’s most exciting playwrights, and to perform in leading theatres across the UK.
We have now finished casting for ‘Find a Partner’ by Miriam Battye. Thankyou to everyone who auditioned!
