Enjoyed a fantastic performance of 'Am I Alone in This?' by @northernstage Young Company Creators on Fri eve. Strong ensemble performance and great to hear from the young people in the post-show discussion share their experiences of co-creating alongside the creative team.

Our Young Company have worked together to devise this play from scratch and we couldn't be prouder of them all!

Absolutely adored Tiny Fragments of Beautiful Light @Alphabetti. I enjoyed it so much that I went to see it twice and took my niece the second time and she loved it too. Such a beautiful production all round.
