Positive Stories Festival

For the first time ever, as part of Season 3, Wonder Fools have created the Positive Stories Festivals for young people to perform their chosen plays across four regional hubs in Scotland. We are delighted to welcome to the Traverse Theatre, plays performed by Beath High School, Firrhill High School, Lyceum Youth Theatre, The Mill Youth Theatre as well as a special selection of previous Class Act hits.

Plays by Tim Crouch, Robert Softley Gale, Leyla Josephine and Sara Shaarawi.

Positive Stories for Negative Times is an international participatory project offering organisations who work with young people a process, newly commissioned plays and training by the best theatre artists working in the UK free of charge.
