Was it really so great back then?

This is the question seven old friends find themselves asking at their 10-year sixth-form reunion. Because it wasn’t all just a bit of sex, drugs and fun. Not for those who had the lines of consent, abuse and homophobia blurred and possibly crossed by people they trusted. But when everyone was in on it, who’s the one at fault?

Written by Ben Stower, The Old School Yard is a poignant, provocative and at times uncomfortable exploration into memory and our enduring yet fallible perceptions of our formative years. Taking place in 2017 and 2007, it questions the people we thought we were and the moments that defined us as teenagers. Because the memories we hold closest might actually be the ones we would rather forget.

The Old School Yard is directed by Actor's Instinct Studio Director Richard Winsor (credits inc. Streetdance 3D, Casualty, National Theatre Play Without Words, Dorian Grey, Edward Scissorhands, Broadway Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake) and stars some of London’s best new acting talent from the studio.
