Over the last 18 months Pentabus has worked with more young writers than ever before. Each writer has been encouraged to tell the stories that are important to them.
Our Young Company group started with skills sessions exploring form and narrative. With professional support and feedback the writer/performers worked towards self-taping a short piece of digital work.
Some people may find the content of our Young Writer's work challenging to engage with. The work contains strong language and is not suitable for children. Individual content warnings are available for each play on our YouTube Channel. Click on the Watch on YouTube box in the bottom left-hand corner of the content boxes below to view.
