Simile
by Highly Sprung
You are invited to watch Simile, a bold and exciting new performance created with young people, for young people, and performed by Highly Sprung professionals Luis Dunn, Colleen Hedley and Emily Robertson.
Set on the night before three friends sit their English exam, Simile explores the pressures of growing up in a hyper-connected world. Through poetry, physical theatre, dance and spoken word, it tackles themes including:
Identity, friendship and belonging
Social media and smartphone dependency
Trolling and toxic masculinity
Place, heritage and the pressures young people face
Inspired by the GCSE English Literature poetry anthology, the production brings familiar themes and published poetry to life through a relatable story, original writing and moments of humour.
Whether you already enjoy theatre and poetry or have never seen a physical theatre performance before, Simile offers an accessible, energetic and emotionally powerful experience. It is especially aimed at young people aged 13-16.
