Save our theatres from the impact of lockdown
Two weeks ago, Nuffield Southampton Theatres (NST) was the first theatre to announce its fall into administration, after the blow of the Coronavirus pandemic took its toll on the cultural community.
Theatre Review | Twelfth Night – NST Youth Theatre, Nuffield Southampton Theatres
Adapted and directed by Liam Gifford, assisted by Rosie Peters, and produced by Holly Mitchell, this version of Twelfth Night is NST Youth Theatre's latest production; and while the script is all Shakespeare's, this is well and truly a modern-day rom-com.

"I spent my first ever evening at NST City enchanted, transfixed and swept up in a story and a legacy that will stay with me for an incredibly long time.
