When all communications are lost with a privately run youth correction facility, two educational inspectors head off to the facility’s remote island location to work out what has happened. They get more than they bargained for in this tale exploring big issues for young people.

Sent to the island for ‘behaviour modification’, some of the pupils staged a rebellion sparked by a singular dramatic event, while others simply wanted to keep their heads down and leave after they’d gone through ‘the programme’.

This text will spark not only strong performances from teenagers, but also debates about the rights and wrongs in the script – inspiring readers and performers to ask the question: “What would I have done?”

This version of Hope Springs is the original, for older young actors; it doesn’t shy away from some of the darker issues and themes of the story.

Based on the Sunday Times bestseller which inspired one of this century’s most treasured films, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel takes us on a journey to India with an eclectic group of British retirees as they embark on a new life. The luxury residence is far from the opulence they were promised, but as their lives begin to intertwine, they are charmed in unexpected and life-changing ways.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a joyous comedy about taking risks, finding love and embracing second chances, even in the most surprising of places.
