FISHVILLE
Connections is the National Theatre's annual, nationwide youth theatre festival championing the talent of young people from across the UK.
Each year the National Theatre commissions new plays for young people to perform, bringing together some of the UK’s most exciting writers with the theatre-makers of tomorrow.
Groundlings Youth Theatre are proud to perform one of this year’s new plays, Fishville by Afsaneh Gray. Set in a wind swept coastal town of Saltwell on the edge of England where nothing, and no one, is quite what they seem. A young man sheds his clothes and walks into the sea, setting of a chain of unsettling events. Whispers grow into conspiracy, as a restless ocean comes to reclaim the land.
