'Hope Springs' at The Watermill: 14th-17th July
East Midlands based WW member Richard Conlon will have the chance to see the second production this year of his new play for young casts this week, at Newbury's Watermill Theatre.
'Hope Springs' 'focusses on the emerging US phenomenon of affluent parents sending their errant teens to private 'youth correction centres'. Set in the near future in the UK, the play takes a dark look at what might happen at such a facility if something went wrong. Originally developed with a youth theatre company from The Castle Theatre and directed by Wenna Stockdale, the script has been picked up by Ben Myers of Newbury's Watermill Theatre.
