This Changes Everything - Platform Plays

'When looking at contemporary new writing for young actors to perform, one could be mistaken for thinking that youth drama was a predominantly male pursuit, rather than the other way round" ~ Lucy Kerbel of Tonic Theatre on why she launched the Platform series

Good roles for young female actors are in short supply

In partnership with publisher Nick Hern Books, Tonic Theatre set out to change that by commissioning a series of new plays with mainly or entirely female casts for schools and youth theatre groups to perform

Aimed at addressing gender imbalance and inequality in theatre, Platform comprises big-cast plays with predominantly or all-female casts, written specifically for performance by school, college and youth-theatre groups

This Changes Everything by Joel Horwood is one of the first three, all of which are available for public performance ....

This Changes Everything

A group of disillusioned young women have disappeared

On a platform out at sea, they have formed The Community

The Community is a new type of society and a better way of living

But how can you change the world if you've taken yourself out of it?

CAST
