It is the scale and range of creative collaboration inherent in theatre
that sits at the very heart of National Theatre Connections
Drawing together the work of ten leading playwrights, National Theatre
Connections 2021 features work by brilliant artists. These are plays
for a generation of theatre-makers who want to ask questions, challenge
assertions and test the boundaries, and for those who love to invent and
imagine a world of possibilities.
The plays offer young performers an engaging and diverse range of
material to perform, read or study.
This 2021 edition is intended as a companion to the 2020 anthology,
which together represent the full set of 10 plays offered by the
National Theatre 2021 Festival. The two plays included in this
collection are Find a Partner by Miriam Battye and Like There's No
Tomorrow, created by the Belgrade Young Company with Justine Themen,
Claire Procter and Liz Mytton. The anthology contains two play scripts,
as well as comprehensive workshop notes that will give insights and
inspiration for building characters, running rehearsals and staging a
production.
