YEP Directors Festival 2023

The Young Everyman Playhouse Directors’ Festival is back, captivating audiences with a remarkable lineup of six brilliant short plays. This year’s YEP Directors showcase their immense talents, promising an unforgettable theatrical experience. Over the course of three weeks, the EV1 space will undergo a magical transformation, immersing spectators in thought-provoking narratives that delve into the depths of childhood, explore the complexities of sex and grief, traverse the vastness of space, challenge conventions through cross-dressing, and even bring forth the timeless allure of Greek gods.

With the unwavering support of their Base Techs training program and the collaboration of YEP actors, both present and past, this festival is a testament to the boundless creativity and innovation of emerging talents. The festival has been met with amazing feedback over the years and showcased huge talent which have gone on to do incredible things in the theatre scene and beyond. This is not be missed!!

One of the festival’s standout features for me, is its commitment to pushing boundaries and embracing unconventional storytelling techniques. Cross-dressing takes center stage in one of the plays, challenging gender norms and celebrating the fluidity of identity. Another production delves into the realm of Greek mythology, weaving ancient tales with contemporary themes, offering a fresh perspective.

It is an extraordinary celebration of creativity, offering a glimpse into the future of theatre and the immense talent that lies within the YEP Directors. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to be a part of the journey, witness these captivating performances. Theatre enthusiasts and curious newcomers alike, we urge you not to miss out on this extraordinary opportunity to see this festival. Secure your tickets now!!
