The Fall

The National Youth Theatre presents James Fritz's topical new play which takes a candid look at young people's relationships with older people and confronts the frightening prospect of ageing in a country undergoing a crisis of care.

Two teenagers sneak into an old man's home for a secret meeting. A young couple try to build their future whilst looking after an ailing parent. A care home offers its residents the opportunity to unburden their children. James Fritz's The Fall asks how much can a younger generation, dispossessed and disenfranchised, truly empathise with the old - especially when their future is at stake?

The Fall is directed by Matt Harrison.
