NT Connections 2026 Day 1
Day one of this year?s festival features The Smithills School Theatre Company?s version of Wildfire Road by Eve Leigh.
Wildfire Road
A story about a generation whose future has been hijacked. ?The whole play takes place on a flight from London to Tokyo. ?There?s a hijacker on board and the flight is re-directed to Siberia and in the process saving the lives of all 416 people on board, as the rest of the world is engulfed in a massive wildfire. ?It?s metaphorical, prophetic and a tale for the most important question of our times: are we going to wake up and address the climate emergency before it?s too late?
