Description

Part of National Theatre Connections Student teacher Sam arrives at Redhill Youth Custody Secure Unit hoping to enrich the troubled resident's lives there by introducing them to the subject of Philosophy. The wary class resist engaging in this alien, ancient art of thinking, at first, but start to thaw when they find themselves being challenged and empowered in ways they haven't previously experienced. Yet the hope Sam's teaching offers them is fragile, particularly for hard fronting Gee, who's on the verge of being released from the unit and is secretly terrified at this prospect.

THE ANIMALS is written by Sean Buckley for National Theatre Connections 2025 and performed by students from Leyton Sixth Form College.

NT Connections is running for its 31st year and we’re both proud and excited to continue supporting this amazing project in our new home Soho Theatre Walthamstow.
