WHAT’S ON /
ROOTS SEASON 2025
HOW WE BECAME BRAVE & THE ISLAND
How We Became Brave
Presented by Younger Youth Theatre
This year our Younger Youth Theatre explore how stories from the past can inspire bravery when we feel afraid. The show celebrates intergenerational storytelling, encouraging the next generation to find strength in their roots and stand up for what’s right, despite fear.
The Island
Presented by Youth Theatre
On a tranquil island, a happy community lives in peace, isolated from the rest of the world. But when a camera crew arrives to make a documentary about their lives, their peace is disrupted. The foreign visitors lead them to question everything about their roots as they uncover dark secrets hidden beneath the surface.

CHOICES & ROOTS
CHOICES.
Presented by Young Company
Everyday, we make choices — from the people we interact with to the vocations we pursue. But how much freedom do we really have in our own lives when every action feels like the next page in a story that began generations before us?
Roots

Unique Dance Company will perform a movement piece illustrating where their ROOTS lie. Starting with choreography at Wembley Park Station. The underground will transport them to different places that shape the roots of who they are.

STILL HERE
Displaced and yearning for home, they find themselves trapped in a waiting room, haunted by echoes of war. Seeking purpose, Max wants to help but struggles to understand. Perhaps this isn't even his story, but theirs: families stripped of their freedom, seeking escape from circumstances not of their choosing.
Still Here explores the meaning of freedom – the freedom to cross borders, both real and imagined especially when it goes beyond our comfort. It challenges us to examine how we use our own freedom when so many are denied it, and reminds us that this is just one waiting room, one story among countless others – stories that continue, and will continue, to unfold.
