Bath Theatre Royal's YPT

Showcasing the fresh perspective and unique wisdom that can only come from young minds, members of the Theatre Royal’s Young People Theatre have collaborated with a professional writer and director to create an anthology of 5-minute plays, which will be performed at the egg theatre for the first time during the Family Theatre Festival.

For the last six months, around 110 YPT members, aged between 9 and 18 years, worked with writer Paul Dodgson and director Emma Earle, before submitting their own work to create a host of 5-minute wonders. Each of the new, short plays will be presented by performers from the YPT, with other company members directing and working behind-the scenes in sound and design.
