By: BWW News Desk Oct. 01, 2015
The National Youth Theatre of Great Britain (NYT) begin their autumn season in the West End this week. Following the huge success of the REP seasons in 2013 and 2014, the company returns to the Ambassadors Theatre with three new productions from September to December exploring themes of sex education, relationships, class and heritage. The 10-week rep season began on 18 September 2015, with press performances on 6 and 7 October 2015. Scroll down for a first look at THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, abridged by Tom Stoppard!
The three shows in this year's West End rep season include: CONSENSUAL - a brand new play exploring issues and experiences around sexting, young people and sexual consent written by Evan Placey and directed by Pia Furtado which was documented in development as part of a new collaboration with Sky Arts; WUTHERING HEIGHTS, in a new adaptation of Emily Bronte's novel by Stephanie Street directed by Emily Lim and THE MERCHANT OF VENICE - Shakespeare's play abridged especially for schools by Tom Stoppard, directed by NYT Associate Director Anna Niland.
NYT Associate Anna Niland will direct Tom Stoppard's abridged version of Shakespeare's THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. Stoppard's version, originally abridged especially for the NYT to perform at the National Centre for Performing Arts in Beijing and the subject of a BBC documentary, is a 90 minute whirlwind which has delighted audiences and schools alike for the past decade.
