Drawing together the work of 12 leading playwrights, this National
Theatre Connections anthology celebrates highlights from 21 years
of the Connections festival with a retrospective selection of
plays. Featuring work by some of the most prolific playwrights of
the 20th and 21st centuries, and together in one volume, the
anthology offers young performers between the ages of 13 and 19 an
engaging selection of plays to perform, read or study. Each play
has been specifically commissioned by the National Theatre's
literary department over the years, with the young performer in
mind. In 2016, these plays were then performed by approximately 500
schools and youth theatre companies across the UK and Ireland, in
partnership with multiple professional partner regional theatres at
which the works were showcased. The anthology contains all 12 of
the play scripts; notes from the writer and director of each play,
addressing the themes and ideas behind the play; and production
notes and exercises for the drama groups. This year's anniversary
anthology includes plays by Snoo Wilson, Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt;
Simon Armitage; Jackie Kay; Patrick Marber; Mark Ravenhill; Bryony
Lavery & Frantic Assembly; Davey Anderson; James Graham; Katori
Hall; Carl Grose; Stacey Gregg; and Lucinda Coxon.
