2012 Season

Islington Community Theatre exists to make brave, innovative theatre.

Our work throughout 2012 is inspired by the idea of time.  By what came before and what comes next.  By heritage, legacy and the thought that this year, this week, this second could define our lives forever.

Our work includes In All the Minutes Ever, a new piece created by 30 young people about time and memory, Before Now Next, an ambitious play created in just 25 hours and What Will Survive of Us, five new short plays by five incredibly exciting emerging playwrights.

We're also working on a new full-length commission and various other projects - keep your eyes peeled here and on our mailing list for more information.

Fifteen, Turning

by Adam Barnard
Part of The Space Fifteen Festival
Friday 29 & Saturday 30 September 2011


A tense, unsettling pair of monlogues exploring two mid-teen experiences: Joe wakes on the morning of his sixteenth birthday and makes his way to the only school that hasn’t thrown him out. Jodie is in her bedroom preparing to meet the man of her dreams.

Will either of them come home tonight?

Islington Community Theatre originally presented Fifteen, Turning (then called Sixteen) as part of Bare Bones Nights at the Old Red Lion in 2010.

We then produced a new version of the play using a revised script  as part of the The Space's Fifteen Festival.

Fifteen, Turning followed our acclaimed production of Fifteen by Alexandra Wood at the Rosemary Branch Theatre in July 2011.  Although the names are similar the projects originated from entirely separate places though both represent an ongoing strand within the company which explores what it means to be on the brink of adulthood in the world today.
