Lyceum Young Company: The Multiverse is Gay: A Play for Everyone, From Every Universe!

Royal Lyceum Theatre
Grindlay Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9AX
£10 Full Price | £8 Concessions

A brand new play by Lewis Hetherington performed by a new young company of actors, supported by a team of Young Creatives.

It’s the last day of school and a raggle-taggle group of friends are bunking off. They break into some fancy private gardens to have a party. In a world that feels like it’s falling apart, they are trying to hold themselves together. Others cast them as the outsiders; the geeks, the queer kids, the school dropouts. But they know they are a community, a family.

Except for Amber. She always feels slightly on the outside of things. Amber’s friends couldn’t be kinder, but something feels out of kilter.  Like she’s looking in on her own life, trying to work out what is wrong.

However, as the garden revels begin, Amber, who has always felt slightly on the outside of their own identity, accidentally stumbles through a portal that launches them in flight across the Multiverse, where they meet an eclectic mix of characters who force them to question who they are and who they want to become. As they tumble through time and space, will they finally find somewhere they belong?

Macrobert Youth Theatre: Midnight Library
This surreal new play invites audiences into a hidden world within an ordinary library, and what begins as an innocent search for a book becomes a journey through shadow, wonder, and dread where escape is never certain, and the stories may consume more than you bargain for.
