Selfie and Private Peaceful open in Rep at the Ambassadors Theatre.

Joined by Macbeth on Wednesday, the National Youth Theatre REP Company present their annual season of productions at the Ambassadors Theatre.

Selfie is inspired by Oscar Wilde’s Dorian Gray. The new staging by Brad Birch looks at an age of self-obsession and advancing technology, where everyone is capable of becoming an artist of his or her own life.

Michael Morpurgo's Private Peaceful relives the life of Private Tommo Peaceful, a young First World War soldier awaiting the firing squad at dawn.

Alice on the Underground opens at the Chickenshed Theatre

Alice is a spirited teenager who yearns to find love and excitement beyond her humdrum life on a London estate. Running away from home, Alice is befriended by a busking and break-dancing White Rabbit, who takes her on a wild, magical and humorous subterranean journey on the Underground.

The show was first performed in 2003 and has been updated as part of Chickenshed's 40th anniversary year.
