The Royal Shakespeare Company
and Next Generation present:

factory

In Association
with LUNG

School.

A world of grades, targets and behaviour points. Bells that split the day into fragments. Success is measured, recorded and compared.

When Covid hits and the system fractures, everything changes.

Factory is an unflinching verbatim play, shaped from the voices inside the classroom - celebrating the lives and creativity within it.

Performed by the RSC Next Generation Act young company.
