Performing Arts

It’s difficult to express how brilliant NT Connections is.  It has become a fundamental part of my students’ educational experience. They learn and grow so much through this process that goes beyond their college and their course.  Participation in Connections gives them a taste of what it means to work in this industry – the mind-set and dedication required to produce work of the highest standard possible.

DAY 9 WORLD PREMIERE

Day Nine
Written and directed by Ian Eadon-Davies

Performed by Dudley College Performing Arts students

In 2022, three groups of teenagers from across the UK went to stay at an outdoor activity centre, deep in the mountains of Wales.
A terrible snowstorm isolated them from the rest of the world. Cut off from rescue, family and worse, social media, the teenagers turned on one another.
Taken from police interviews and reconstructed from accounts of the survivors, here is what happened…

In just nine days.
