NT CONNECTIONS commissions new plays for and about young people from some of the best contemporary playwrights, for performance by schools and youth theatres from all over the UK and Ireland, both in their home venues and at sixteen regional partnership theatres. The NT Festival showcases an example of each play. Deep within the South African underground caves, a group of friends meet to spend the night and explore its mysteries. The so called 'Cradle of Humankind' caves are home to the oldest human remains. As a group of young friends venture deeper and deeper, strained relations and questions of loyalty take hold. With truths revealed and loyalties undone, these modern teenagers are stripped back to their primordial instincts. Surrounded by a chorus of ancestral voices, the group unravels. Just how far will modern humans go to exact revenge?
