Journey To X by Nancy Harris

A group of friends have formed a new band. Now all they have to do is raise the money to get to London to audition for the world’s biggest talent contest.

Costumes, songs and fundraising techniques may divide opinion but one girl has a far more important choice to make. Their journey for fame and fortune is really a journey for something far less glamorous. Something their country doesn’t approve of, something their parents wouldn’t condone. In a culture of instant fame and talent-show ‘stories’, the importance of life and friendship come to the fore.

A tale about friendship, a journey and the risks that teenagers take when plunged into an adult world.

Presented by AKT Youth Theatre as part of the National Theatre’s Connections Programme. This acclaimed festival gives Youth groups across the UK an exciting opportunity to stage a brand new play, written for actors aged 14-17, at mainstream venues across the country. From actors and stage managers to sound operators and set designer, each stage of the process is managed by the young people with guidance and training from experienced theatre directors.
