“It is an amazing experience every year, with dynamic new plays to choose from and produce with amazing support and guidance from The National Theatre.
“Through these plays, our students get to experience the world and stories beyond their own lives and get to work with professionals from the industry to create the end product.
“It is an honour to have our production selected to be a part of this year’s final programme and a massive thank you to Cast, our partner theatre, for helping us realise our vision.”
