Photo Flash: The Earl of Wessex Visits National Youth Theatre of Great Britain in Rehearsal

On Tuesday 24 May, the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain (NYT) welcomed NYT Royal Patron HRH The Earl of Wessex to their rehearsal rooms in Holloway Road for a special showing of their upcoming production of The Fall by award winning writer James Fritz.

HRH The Earl of Wessex met the organisation's Artistic Director Paul Roseby, supporters and the members of the NYT company who performed extracts from the new play which will be opening at Southwark Playhouse in the NYT's debut season at the venue, and running from 28 April to 19 May with official opening night on 3 May.

The Fall by Olivier Award nominated and Bruntwood Prize winning writer and NYT Alumni James Fritz is a topical play which takes a candid look at young people's relationships with older people and confronts the frightening prospect of ageing in a country undergoing a crisis of care.
