Pandora (2021)

After lockdown, we returned to the stage with an anthology of stories, each told by a different 12-16 group, held together by our Wednesday 16+ group. We were able to tell an epic and large story whilst ensuring we worked within current COVID-19 regulations.

Romeo and Juliet (2019)

ThirdSpace Theatre (then Windmill Young Actors), in partnership with BYC, presented Romeo and Juliet in Hollingdean Skatepark, at the time our most ambitious and creatively challenging production ever!

Nothing (2018)

Adapted from a novel for the stage by Amanda Dalton, Nothing is a story about existentialism, the loss of youth in modern life, and youth identity, and was one of the most thematically rich and intense scripts we’ve performed.

About A Revolution (2018)

In the wake of the dramatic success of Agamemnon, and political turmoil forming the backdrop of Britain at the time, the Wednesday 16+ ensemble tackled the subject of revolution in our most experimental production yet.

Everywhere (2018)

Nominated for Best Family Show in the Fringe, the show was a beautifully whimsical anthology of these stories, telling the story of a young girl escaping her life through the fairytales her grandmother told her.

An early foray into truly politically driven theatre, this double bill of shows from our two senior groups explored ideas of revolution, patriarchy, the power of the media, and oppression.

Macbeth (2016)

For the first time in a summer production, we involved actors from as young as 8 to as old as 18 to create an utterly striking and devasting version of the Scottish play.

Ahmed and the Feather Girl (2016)

Our first original adaptation, ThirdSpace (then Windmill Young Actors) was lucky enough to be given permission by Jane Ray to adapt her beautiful novel about youth, friendship, and survival.

Arabian Nights (2015)

Telling stories such as Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Arabian Nights was driven by a key ideal which ThirdSpace still holds to this day – children’s theatre doesn’t have to be sanitized.

Animal Farm (2015)

For our first Brighton Fringe show, we chose Orwell’s classic story of revolution and fascism, and told it with an all female cast to rave reviews!
