When This Is Over

A group of teenagers, their lives shaped by billions of seemingly random events going back to before they were born, come together onstage to share stories about their past, their present, and what might lie ahead

When This Is Over is a uniquely personal, theatrical celebration of hope, possibility and imagination

It's about how we can work with chaos, and embrace our collective imagination as we prepare for a deeply uncertain future – together

Sub-titled A Blue Print For Creating Your Own Production the play is designed to be created and performed by teenage casts, drawing directly on their own life experiences and the stories they want to tell

Winner of the Community Project of the Year at The Stage Awards, and Outstanding Drama Initiative at the Music and Drama Education Awards, this unique edition contains the original script plus information, exercises and activities on how to create a production for individual classes and youth groups

First seen at The Yard Theatre, London in 2022 and developed alongside over 50 other Youth Theatres across the UK
