Description
Presented by the Young People's Theatre
This week a cast of fifteen of our YPT members aged 12 to 16 take to the Studio Theatre stage with James Fritz’s START SWIMMING.
George Orwell’s 1984 meets The Hunger Games in this thought-provoking drama about oppression and revolution, asking what power young people have to affect change and resist authority.
The play was originally developed by the Young Vic Taking Part department and it subsequently transferred to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Striking a complicated balance between optimism and cynicism, the play ultimately makes a galvanising case for solidarity in the face of a prevailing system which promises little to the young people of today.
The play is suitable for anyone aged 12+.
This amateur production of Start Swimming by James Fritz is presented in association with Nick Hern Books Ltd.
