PRODUCTIONS
Current productions
The Revenge Party is our 2025 Production Company Production.
Following from the success of Two in 2024, Production Company is back with another exciting performance from our young actors.
The Revenge Party is a gripping and emotional teen drama that explores the fragile bonds of friendship, love, and betrayal. As something tragic happens at Grace's sixteenth party, the friends have to grapple with their own role in what happened, long buried feelings and are torn apart by guilt, secrets, and suspicions.
This performance contains sensitive content that might be distressing for some audiences. It contains strong language, swearing, discussions of sexuality, violence and reference of death and the murder of a central character.
The Revenge Party will be performed in March 2025.

Two: Reimagined was our 2024 Production Company performance and was performed at the National Festival of Youth Theatre at the Gaiety Theatre in Ayr.
Our production company had the amazing opportunity to perform Two at the National Festival of Youth Theatre. After performing the show to audiences in West Lothian earlier in the year, we wanted to challenge ourselves into adapting it for a new audience and going from two to cast members to four.
Two is a dark comedy about survival, being human and friendship in unusual circumstances. The play follows the story of Ash and Harper, two complete strangers who are both trying to survive a zombie apocalypse. Using music and multimedia, we created a play that entertained the crowd and made them think - how would I survive a zombie apocalypse?

Two had two casts to give wider opportunities for young people to perform in the show. This also offered us an opportunity to explore characters, themes and the script in two different directions.
Turtles Don't Have Shells was our 2023 Production Company performance and was performed at Blackburn Partnership Centre in June 2023.
Turtles Don't Have Shells was an exploration of how and why we should be taking action to save our planet. It was a protest, a cry for help, a call to action. A promise. A collection of different scenes and stories - some to make audiences laugh and others to make them cry, but all to make them think.
The performance used music, physical theatre, new writing, dance and devising to create a show to challenge ourselves and what we are able to do with theatre.
