National Theatre Connections 2020

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, HOME is temporarily closed and this event has now been cancelled.

If you already have tickets booked our box office team will be in touch to arrange refunds.

More information on HOME’s response to the coronavirus outbreak can be found here.

Greater Manchester’s youth theatres, schools and colleges perform here at HOME in the National Theatre’s Connections festival, a celebration of young people, theatre-making and the importance of access to the arts.
Each year the National Theatre commissions ten new plays for young people to perform, bringing together some of the most exciting writers with the theatre makers of tomorrow.
Connections is supported by The Mohn Westlake Foundation, The Buffini Chao Foundation, Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation, Delta Air Lines, Jacqueline and Richard Worswick, The Peter Cundill Foundation, Mactaggart Third Fund, The EBM Charitable Trust, Samantha and Richard Campbell-Breeden, Susan Miller and Byron Grote, The Broughton Family Charitable Trust and The Derrill Allatt Foundation.
The National Theatre’s Partner for Learning is Bank of America Merrill Lynch

All shows begin at 7pm and finish at around 9.15pm. Which group performs first will not be decided until the date of the performance.
