Next weekend, Narberth Youth Theatre will not only be touring, but will be performing two very different plays each show.

In collaboration with National Theatre UK they will be presenting Worlds A Part, two dramas exploring the worlds of parents and their children, and children and their parents.

The first, Much Too Much is a NYT devised play, which visually voices the thoughts, experiences and frustrations of young people today.

The pressure to grow up too soon, to have the right hair colour, fashion sense, physical attributes and material objects. With all that going on, how on earth is a young person meant to get through life with ease...

The second play in partnership with the National Theatre UK Youth Arts Festival project Connections 500, is What Are They Like? by Linda Coxon (writer of the much loved and talked about screenplay The Danish Girl). This is a play for voices, complex characters and personal anxieties. Where the only thing to be moving forward is time, whilst we get left behind.

Directed by Meredydd Barker and Sophie Pierce, supported by Rhiannon Morgan and Awena Owen, tour dates are: Friday, March 11, Torch Theatre Milford Haven, 7.45 pm; Saturday, March 12, Queens Hallm Narberth, 2.30 and 7.30 pm.

Tickets: Full price £9, students and U16s £5.

Worlds A Part has been financially supported by Pembrokeshire County Council, Narberth Town Council, Connections 500 and Arts Council England.

Narberth Youth Theatre would like to thank for their ongoing community and business support, production designers Headstrong Productions, SPAN Arts, photographer Jennie Caldwell, vintage designer Giddy Aunt, Gravells, Simon Montgomery, Ian and Angie Moore of Outhaus and lighting designers Wired-West.

“Without their help, support and guidance in enabling us to produce quality work, we would not be now celebrating nearly five years as a theatre company in this imaginative and memorable way,” said a spokesperson.

But that’s not all. On May 8, NYT will be performing What Are they Like? for a second time, in Connections 500, the National Theatre UK Youth Arts Festival. Aberystwyth Arts Centre will be hosting the event. To ensure they get there they still need to raise £2,000 of their £3000 target. If you are willing to help, in any way, please do get in touch.
