Nothing

Royal Exchange Young Company returns to The Studio with the world première of Nothing by Amanda Dalton, adapted from the novel by Janne Teller.

This unsettling story is critically acclaimed and read across the world despite being banned in many schools and libraries when first published. The Exchange’s new adaptation will be directed by Bryony Shanahan who returns following her role as associate director on The Skriker.

A young cast brings this challenging play to audiences April 14-17.

When teenager Pierre Anthon suddenly announces that nothing in life has meaning, his friends decide to prove him wrong. Fearful he might in fact be right, their desperate actions spiral out of control and lead to terrifying consequences.
