Each year, Pentabus’ Young Writers showcase takes on a new identity and this year, it’s RAW. A bold celebration of new writing, RAW brings together eight brand new plays by emerging writers from the West Midlands and The Marches, directed and performed by industry professionals.
Previous Young Writers have gone on to achieve Olivier award nominations, Royal Court commissions, award-winning Edinburgh Fringe shows, as well as writing for ITV, Film4 and BBC Radio 4. This showcase is a rare chance to experience the next generation of playwrights at the very start of their journey; fresh, fearless and full of original perspective.
The programme features eight short plays by this year’s cohort which includes Charlotte Brimer, Eilidh Carver, Jenny Hill, Ilina Jha, Crystal Marshall, Ella Niblett, Andred Rhys and Daniel Shakespeare.

For the first time ever, Pentabus Youth Theatre presents a public performance of Tuesday by Alison Carr, at Ludlow Assembly Rooms on Saturday 13 June. Tickets here.
Tuesdays. They’re grey, beige, lame, boring. But this Tuesday was like no other. When parallel worlds collide and the sky is ripped in two, chaos ensues. Will the kids at Lane End School manage to put their differences aside to overcome this otherworldly phenomenon?
In this bold and experimental production, Pentabus is proud to showcase an 18-person cast which features some of Shropshire’s brightest young stars. Directed by Youth Theatre Co-Directors, Emma Morgan and Ella Niblett.
Tuesday was originally commissioned for the 2020 National Theatre Connections Festival, featuring plays written specifically for young performers. This is an amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
