Does anyone really know where their story starts?
Do you?
Maybe it only really starts when you tell it.
Maybe it’s starting right now.

As world leaders gather in Glasgow to decide the future of the world, a group of teenagers come together in London to tell the story of their lives - their past, present and future.

Created on Zoom and in socially distanced workshops throughout the pandemic, When This Is Over captures the extraordinary, funny and surprising moments that can change our lives forever.

Staged on a set made exclusively from repurposed scenery from other London shows, this brand new production is a celebration of possibility, hope and the power of stories, told by
teenagers standing on the brink of an uncertain future.
