Introduction

A new devised piece developed during South London Youth Theatre's Saturday workshops. The concept is simple: the show is divided into four playlets, each of which is loosely based on one of the seasons and set in an unnamed London park. These are taut tales of loss and discovery, fear and uncertainty, betrayal and hope, bound together by theme and setting.

Hide & Seek

directed by Maria Bates

Will you seek out your fears or hide in the shadows? This show developed from a simple game of “Hide and Seek” into what has become a metaphor for the transition from childhood innocence to the perplexity of teenage angst.
