WIRED: a show about growing up online, co-created by young people from the northeast
Mortal Fools Ensemble Young Company are back with a brand-new contemporary theatre show, WIRED. Devised and performed by the cast, ten young people from the north east, WIRED showcases an original soundtrack, bold set design and their incredible talent, insights and lived experience.
They’re bringing their signature mix of raw, honest storytelling to dig into what it really means to grow up in a digital world, and all the tension, pressure, drama, and connection that comes with it.
This isn’t just a theatre show, it’s real talk about how social media and being constantly online shape who we are and how we feel in 2026.
Does the way we live online change how we connect with each other IRL? What happens when our digital lives and the real world collide? And what would it be like to grow up in a world without the internet?
Get ready for a show that hits close to home: bold, emotional, funny, and unfiltered.
Suitable for ages 11+.
