In August 2024, we brought together over 50 young creatives to stage a brand-new musical on our main stage in just 10 days!

"How lucky we are to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard" A.A. Milne

Meet Nicky, they’ve just turned 18, and their life has changed forever. New job, new quadrant, new opportunities, but they’ve left Oli behind and suddenly things aren’t so simple anymore. Peek in on the lives of a small group of friends as they desperately try to find the time to live their dreams, let someone know how much they mean to them, or simply be together, before they have to say goodbye to everything they once knew.

Stay tuned for the full film, coming later this year!
