We were commissioned by Crewe Lyceum Theatre to produce a short film showing the amazing young talent who are taking part in the National Theatre's Connections Festival.

Each year, the National Theatre commissions 10 new plays from some of the UK's most exciting writers for young people to perform. 300 youth theatre companies and over 6,000 young people from all over the UK come together to perform.

For the film, we sought a variety of youth theatre groups that were taking part within Cheshire to document the production, preparation and rehearsal process as they prepare to perform at the Crewe Lyceum Theatre.
