NT Connections: Same

The Bush Theatre is delighted to be a partner of this year’s National Theatre Connections festival, the UK-wide initiative that offers groups of young people the chance to perform new plays from some of the most exciting playwrights in the country.

Same by Deborah Bruce, performed by students of St Catherine’s School.

Same is set in an old people's home in the week that Josie dies. Her teenage grandchildren reminisce about their memories of her, and the residents in the home feel the effects of her death on their lives as her funeral takes place.

Is the gulf between the young and old as wide as it feels, or are we fundamentally the same inside whatever age we are?
