National Theatre Connections 2025

Connections is the National Theatre’s annual nationwide festival celebrating young people, theatre-making and the importance of access to the arts. 

Each year, the National Theatre commissions ten new plays for young people to perform, bringing together some of the most exciting writers with the theatre-makers of tomorrow. With local festivals taking place in venues across the country, Connections is an unforgettable feast of theatre made by and for young people. 

This year is The North Wall’s twelfth  year as partner venue to NT Connections Festival. We are hosting 8 brilliant companies to perform 8 electrifying shows and we’d love for you to join us.
