About

We were invited to open the For/With/By Festival of European Youth Theatre at The Forum in Barrow-in-Furness on 24 July 2023 with our 2 most recent productions

The Spaces in Between
Nicole collects pennies, Dan has a seagull brother and Archie is a great ape from thousands of years ago . . . or that’s what people say anyway.
How do rumours become facts, how do tiny stories become flesh?
What are the spaces in between who we are and who other people see?
And where did Macy get those FANTASTIC shoes?

The Spaces in Between is a new show by Theatre Factory Youth Theatre’s Thursday Company, devised and written with ideas from the group.

VOGZ
‘Come on loopy, breathe, breathe, breathe!!
It’s all right. Or even if it isn’t, it will be, I know it will be’.
Voices of Generation Zed is a collection of 10 micro plays by award winning playwright Kevin Dyer, performed by a new generation of the Northwest’s brightest young student actors.

What's it About?
Honesty, anxiety, transparency, non-binary, gender fluidity, body positivity, neuro diversity, climate responsibility, woke and proud!
These 12 micro plays are ‘woke’ and proud of it.
They present a view of the world which prioritizes communication, listening, inclusivity, empathy, kindness and friendship. These are tough talking plays.
They deal with the hard things in life with humour and resilience worthy of the best generation ever, the mighty Generation Zed!

‘I’m making a strategy for life.'
'Yeh, but what’s your strategy for getting off your fat arse’
