When people at school start forgetting things, Steph wonders if she’s the only one who’s noticed. She and some of the school’s misfits seem to be the only ones who can see what’s happening. 

​

Is it the weather? Is it a virus? They must join forces to try and work out what is causing everyone in town to lose all sense of who they are. 

Our 80's inspired version of Birch’s The Blue Electric Wind is a contemporary exploration of what it is to be a young adult, and like the great classic 80's teen movies, (ET, Stand By me, The Goonies, IT etc) this powerful coming of age production might just see our ‘kid's’ save the world!! 

Through performance Collision encourages a greater dialogue about what it is to be a young person in today’s society, through the exploration of people, place and identity.  It gives us great pleasure in announcing that we have been selected for and are proud to be part The National Theatre Connections Festival this July at The National Theatre, London..

 Each year the National Theatre Connections commissions ten new plays for young people to perform, bringing together some of the UK's most exciting writers with the theatre-makers of tomorrow.
