New Connections is the world's most ambitious new writing programme for young actors creating theatre.

The programme was born in 1993 in response to widespread demand for challenging new plays for young people to perform.

Every year the NT commissions a new portfolio of 60 minute scripts from the hottest playwrights in the world, for teenage actors to perform across the country.
