Islington Community Theatre's hit production Brainstorm is set to return to the National at the end of March for six performances.

The production, which received a good reception from critics when it originally opened at the Temporary Theatre in July 2015, offers a vivid insight into adolescent minds and is performed by members of the community theatre, aged between 14 and 18.

The show was devised with directors Ned Glasier and Emily Lim along with cognitive neuroscientist Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore and draws upon the life experiences of the cast.

Brainstorm runs at the Temporary Theatre from 29 March to 2 April.
