FIND MORE TO DO

Always Young is a heartwarming, magical reflection on school days in the eighties. Discover the possible stories behind the characters we all remember from school. An insightful and thought provoking look at how our childhood experiences and parenting influenced who we are today.

A show for adults about our collective memories. A nostalgic yet disconcerting reality check, that uses music, and tall tales to deliver powerful messages.

Our unreliable Narrator takes you on a journey through his past and introduces us to many different characters in a British school somewhere. These individuals, often seen as misfits, outcasts or troubled youths explore their own self-discoveries, reflections, passions, ambitions, and nightmares as they try to conform to society or just fit in at school.

20 Original musical numbers with lyrics by Mark Tunstall and musical score by Lulu Chen and various artists, accentuate the stories with genre bending sounds and styles that traverse musical history. Honky-Tonk Piano meets Contemporary Rock Anthem Stylings, Hip Hop, Jazz, Rock n Roll, Bitter-Sweet Ballads and Toe Tapping Feelgood Broadway and Vaudevillian style numbers.

Always Young explores many themes at large today, not just childhood insecurities. The show explores acceptance and inclusivity of LGBTQ, the development of individuality verses forced conformity, crime, neglect, abuse, mental health, bullying and unrecognized neurodiversity in its many guises.
