About New Connection
The National commissions established playwrights to write their next new play, the only proviso is that teenagers will be performing them. Whether through comedy, tragedy or thriller, physical theatre, verbatim or musical, these plays inspire debate and stimulate teenage minds.
Taking part in New Connections gives young companies nationwide the chance to take on a new script, workshop with the writer, perform in their home venue, present the production to an NT Staff Director, and perform it at a New Connections Partner Theatre.
One production of each script in the portfolio will be selected to showcase as part of the National Theatre's festival of new writing for young people at the NT on the South Bank.
