PYT Seniors Double Bill: As It Was & Chaos

As It Was
By Lucy Atkinson
Presented by arrangement with Lazy Bee Scripts

When a group of teenagers explore an abandoned house, they encounter mysterious “memories” from the past – young people from different eras, each facing their own fears and struggles. As the stories unfold, the group begin to recognise their own anxieties reflected back at them. Through these encounters, they learn that fear, change, and growing up are shared experiences - and that they don’t have to face them alone.

Chaos

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books

Chaos is a fast-paced, fragmented exploration of teenage life, where multiple stories unfold in overlapping moments of love, anxiety, conflict, and confusion. From friendships and relationships to family struggles and social pressures, each scene captures how small actions and choices can have unpredictable consequences. As the pieces collide, the play reveals a world that feels overwhelming and out of control – yet full of shared experiences that connect us all.
