Introduction

From Shakespeare and sword fighting to hard-hitting modern classics the SLT Youth Theatre showcased their talent in this evening of comedy, drama and musical mayhem.

‘Having such a talented group of child actors from South London Theatre bodes well for the future of acting in this country. When I was at the theatre, there was a decided buzz at the end. The audience wanted to talk about what they had seen. It was an evening well spent.’

Richard Woulfe - UK Theatre Network: on last year’s production of ‘Stay With Me’.


ROMEO AND JULIET

We start with the opening of Romeo and Juliet, a chance to showcase one of the specialist skills Youth Group members have been learning as thumbs are bitten and blades are drawn in the classic scene of conflict between the Montagues and the Capulets .

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

Arrogant Benedick overhears a conversation between his friend Claudio and some respectable members of the establishment - should he believe everything they say about spiky Beatrice's secret admiration?

A VICTORIAN PLAY

A story of love, loss and a haunted house set in Victorian London. Written by youth group member, Shona Doyle.

THE GUT GIRLS

3 historical scenes based on the "Gut Girls" of Deptford, England, circa 1900. They are rowdy, boisterous, have mouths like sailors and are as strong as the oxen they gut. By day they are up to their knees in freshly slaughtered animal entrails, but in the evenings they are their own women, financially independent to a degree rare for young working-class women in Victorian England.

ANTHEM

A powerful piece of new writing, inspired by the experience of being bullied at school.

UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

From ‘All In The Timing’, David Ives’ inspired collection of comic vignettes, verbal gymnastics abound in this tale of a language lesson with a difference.

THE TEN PERCENTERS

Somewhere in the South of England, 194. About tea time.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

Beatrice's friend, Hero, has just been jilted at the altar by Claudio, a companion of Benedick –what can he say, when Beatrice is left to pick up the pieces?

PITCHFORK DISNEY

The Stray twins, Presley and Haley, live together in a sublimely tortured state of arrested development, apparently brought on by the mysterious disappearance of their parents.

Only we know our innermost fears! What do you do to prevent the terrors taking hold?

THE PHILADELPHIA

Another piece from ‘All In The Timing’, this time thrusting its unsuspecting characters into ‘a Philadelphia’, a Twilight Zone-like state where nobody can get what they ask for. The only way out of their dilemma? To ask for the opposite of what they want.

CORPSE

Don’t you just hate it when you get back from a hard days work, only to discover a dead stranger in you living room?
