Across five centuries of British history, small groups of children seek sanctuary in the same solid, old wardrobe. It's the safest place they know but is it safe enough?
Each year the National Theatre invites ten writers to create new plays for young people to perform. The Wardrobe is by NHB playwright Sam Holcroft (Cockroach, While You Lie). This spring 220 youth theatre companies will present the premieres of these plays in venues from Scotland to Cornwall and Northern Ireland to Norfolk. Each company will also perform at one of 26 Connections festivals in professional theatres across the country, and ten companies will go on to perform at the National Theatre. Connections celebrates great new writing for the stage - and the energy, commitment and talent of young theatre-makers.
