The Young Team

Venue

Lyric Hammersmith

Welcome to Scotland in 2005. For Azzy, born and bred in North Lanarkshire, the Young Team Posse (YTP) seems to promise everything he could possibly want: excitement, community, freedom. It’s where boys become men, and he’s hungry to grow up.

Based on the award-winning novel by Graeme Armstrong, this searing new adaptation by Kieran Hurley (Beats) is directed by Artistic Director Rachel O’Riordan (Iphigenia In Splott, The Children), in a co-production with National Theatre of Scotland.
