Similie by Highly Sprung

A bold and exciting new performance created with young people, for young people, by Highly Sprung.

Similie is set on the night before three friends sit their English exam and 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.
