National Theatre Connections is an annual festival which brings new plays for young people to schools and youth theatres across the UK and Ireland.

NT Connections have published over 150 original plays and regularly works with 500 theatre companies and 10,000 young people each year.
This anthology brings together 9 new plays by some of the UK's most prolific and current writers and artists alongside notes on each of the texts exploring performance for schools and youth groups.
