Over 150 young people from 10 groups across Ireland performing brand new plays commissioned by the National Theatre on both our stages; this is the largest Connections Festival that the Lyric has ever had!
National Theatre Connections at the Lyric Theatre, Belfast runs from the 24th – 26th April 2015
Each year the National Theatre asks ten writers to create new plays for performance by young theatre companies all over the country. From Scotland to Cornwall and Northern Ireland to Norfolk, Connections celebrates great new writing for the stage – and the energy, commitment and talent of young theatre-makers.
