Connections is the National Theatre’s annual, nationwide youth theatre festival. We're one of 31 partner theatres across the UK taking part in Connections 2025.

Every year, Connections commissions new plays for young people to perform. The programme brings together some of the UK’s most exciting writers with the theatre-makers of tomorrow. In 23/24, over 250 youth companies got involved.
