PROGRESS YOUTH THEATRE
75th Anniversary Production
This year PYT is celebrating its 75th Birthday! Our first show of 2026 is a showcase of performances from our two older groups, the Floodlights and Blinders.
The Floodlights present a series of duologues tackling challenging themes and complex characters that have been selected to entertain, intrigue, and inspire. Turning their hand to improvisation, the Floodlights perform an extended, improvised ensemble scene that will explore self-hood, free will, and the difficulties of negotiating friendships.
The Blinders will journey from Ancient Greece, through Rome, Shakespeare’s Illyria, and Victorian London before landing in the present day…at a bus stop. Showcasing pieces from theatrical giants as well as exciting, new work written by a Progress youth member, we are proud to present this selection of monologues and duologues in addition to a new Gatsby-esque adaptation: Beautiful Fools.
Please note that various themes may be distressing to some audiences. See our list of Content Warnings.

"Satori is among the most engaging young bands on the British scene… Cerebral, nuanced and reflective.” All About Jazz
Winner of the 2019 Parliamentary Award ‘Jazz Instrumentalist of the year’, Josephine Davies is a saxophonist, composer and bandleader at the forefront of the UK contemporary music scene. She has four album releases on Whirlwind Recordings with her trio/quartet Satori, and is known for her melodic focus, versatility and unique style as an instrumentalist.
Now becoming equally known as a composer, her unique sound is a blend of jazz, folk and classical music, creating an intensely dynamic sound infused with the Nordic quality of her Shetland roots.
The intricate compositions, coupled with the thrilling interplay between these four musicians, evokes the interconnection of Shetland sea, land, sky, and ever-present wind. At times stark and unsettling, and at times light and joyous, their latest album “Weatherwards” is a unique and magical offering from one of the UK’s most dynamic ensembles.
