Eclipse
by Simon Armitage
Newcastle
Peoples Theatre
Thursday
25th – Saturday 27th February 2016
Six friends are interviewed by the police after the
disappearance of Lucy Lime, a strange unnerving girl whom they met beneath the
cliffs on a Cornish beach, just before the total eclipse of the sun. What
happened to her, what happened to them?

2016 sees the National Theatre Connections Festival
mark its 21st year. To celebrate, they have selected 12 plays from previous
years and 500 youth theatres and school groups to perform, involving more young
people than ever in making theatre.
The People’s Theatre are delighted to have their
talented Young People’s Theatre involved and proud to see them tackling such a
challenging play. Simon Armitage is Professor of Poetry at the University of Sheffield and the University of Oxford, so it is no surprise
that his drama is as lyrical as it is beautiful and unusual.

Their Young People’s Theatre is over fifty years old
and has produced a wide range of shows and developed some great talent over
that time. Previous Youth Theatre members include Pet Shop Boy Neil Tenant,
comedian Ross Noble and actress Andrea Riseborough.
Free to join, the group is for youngsters aged 11-18
and strives to develop its members confidence while learning theatrical skills,
and is a great way to meet new people from across the region.
