Event Description

Building on the success of the Young Company’s production of Brontë in 2025, this dynamic ensemble returns in 2026 to take on one of modern theatre’s most ambitious and gripping works.

Set against the shadowy seaside of 1930s Brighton, Brighton Rock brings Graham Greene’s iconic novel to life. Teenage lovers Pinkie and Rose are pulled into a world of violence and betrayal as a brutal gang war spirals out of control.

Pinkie, a cold and calculating young gang leader, is determined to tighten his grip on the town, but as his rival Colleoni rises in power, his control begins to slip.

Watching closely is Ida Arnold. Fearless and relentless, she suspects Pinkie of murder and she won’t stop until the truth is uncovered. No matter the cost, she’s determined to see justice done.

Directed by Alec Fellows-Bennett, this production brings a bold and imaginative vision to the stage. With a strong emphasis on ensemble storytelling, the talented young cast rises to the challenges of the text, delivering a confident, compelling and fearless performance.

Age recommendation: 13+
