FAMILY THEATRE

Theatre isn’t just by adults for adults. Live Theatre is committed to creating new work specifically aimed at families, so that audiences of all ages can come along and enjoy the experience of seeing a live show. This year Live Theatre is focusing on plays performed by teenagers for teenagers, and their families are invited to tag along too!

Live Theatre is delighted to be taking part in Juice Festival, a celebration of the creativity of children and young people aged 0 to 18. Members of Live’s Youth Theatre take to the stage to perform two exciting new plays.

A group of teenagers do something bad, really bad, then panic and cover the whole thing up. But when they find that the cover-up unites them and brings harmony to their otherwise fractious lives, where's the incentive to put things right? 

DNA is a poignant and, sometimes, hilarious tale with a very dark heart.
