Youth Theatre Production Tuesday at Pentabus

For the first time ever, Pentabus Youth Theatre presents a public performance of Tuesday by Alison Carr, at Ludlow Assembly Rooms on Saturday 13 June.

Tuesdays. They’re grey, beige, lame, boring. But this Tuesday was like no other. When parallel worlds collide and the sky is ripped in two, chaos ensues. Will the kids at Lane End School manage to put their differences aside to overcome this otherworldly phenomenon?

Tuesday is funny, playful and a little bit sci-fi. The show delves into themes of friendship, identity, loneliness and responsibility. Most importantly, it’s a play for anyone who’s ever had their lives turned upside down.

In this bold and experimental production, Pentabus is proud to showcase an 18-person cast which features some of Shropshire’s brightest young stars.

Pentabus Youth Theatre Co-Directors, Emma Morgan and Ella Niblett, have commented:

‘We are absolutely thrilled to present Pentabus’ first ever Youth Theatre production. A year of high-quality acting training has culminated in this show, and we have been so impressed by the talent on display from our young actors. Watching young people discover the magic of theatre in a rural space is so important and we’re incredibly honoured to be a part of that. This production of Tuesday proves, without a doubt, that there is a wealth of young talent in Shropshire and we cannot wait for people to see the show.’

Tuesday was originally commissioned for the 2020 National Theatre Connections Festival, featuring plays written specifically for young performers. This is an amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
