US premiere of (Circle Dreams Around) The Terrible, Terrible Past
by Simon Longman

A script from the National Theatre Connections 2023 collection of commissioned scripts for young people.

Someone has a recurring dream. And the dream feels like a circle, going round and round with the past chasing the present into the future and back to the start again. Which means that we’re stuck in the dream too, watching it with them. It always starts with someone selling crabs and it all gets progressively surreal from there. And there doesn’t seem to be a way out. A play about the experience and expectations involved with growing up and the circularity of human existence.
