To mark Barrow Youth Theatre's tenth year the company put together a festival of six short plays. Three were devised by the company members, two written by Youth Theatre members, and a rehearsed reading of new writing that had only been produced once before.

Night one – Family night

Beak

A puppet show devised by the company
Chickadee is a chicken who has lost his beak and travels into the far reaches of space in the farmers crop duster to find it.

Ginger
By Stephanie Sloane

Ginger is a cat, but no ordinary cat . . . HE CAN TALK. Ginger is the hilarious story of how he learnt!

Fairy
By Barrow Junior Youth Theatre

There’s something in the attic . . . Kia has lost his mobile phone. When his sister starts getting weird texts from the lost phone, things start to get creepy. A funny and heart-warming story about a family of stepbrothers and sisters trying to get on.

Night two – Plays with BYTe

Solid

By Robin Lennox

Tough lads (not) hanging about on street corners and the heist of the century (well no!) - they haven’t got the brains but they do have a younger brother.

Car

Devised by the cast
Three teens on their way to Liverpool, in the worst car in the world. When the car breaks down things go from bad to worse. A road movie with no travelling.

Souled out
By Jeff Williams

Rehearsed Reading
Its 1974, Northern Soul rules the north of England; big dance moves, big collars and big laughs with a splash of double diamond.
