Woking Drama Festival 2019

In 2019 WYT entered two productions into the Woking Drama Festival; the main youth entry Refugee Camp 25, and a non-youth entry The Breakfast Club.

Refugee Camp 25

Nominated for best lighting

Adjudicator's Comments

A poignant and thought-provoking production. Clear bold storytelling all the way through...

The three stories .. were compellingly told.

Visually powerful during the physical sections of the piece.

..liked the way the chorus showed us different things... morphed from a fighting army into a forest.

Loved the ‘stage pictures’.

A hugely watchable piece of theatre and it left me with the impression that it will have a lasting effect on me and it’s one of those productions that will stay in my mind for a very long time. It had some really striking visual images and I just hope I get to sleep tonight!

The Breakfast Club

WYT gained special permission from the John Hughes Trust to adapt his iconic 80s teen flick to the stage.

It was one of the three plays recalled for the festival's final 'gala' night and received best actor nominations for the entire youth cast as well as a nomination for Adjudicator's Award.
