“He’s Talking” is a fact-based fiction about an anti-racist bombing group in apartheid South Africa. Luke, the leader, is seized and questioned. Every word he speaks will have a lifelong effect on his young friends and on himself. One year later, they all meet up. Or some of them do. Or only a few. It all depends on whether he talked … or not.

A handful of Nottingham’s over 16 group have teamed up to create their own theatre company to participate in the nationwide Shakespeare Youth Festival project. The group (called Bard’s Basement) will be performing their take on William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night at Nottingham Playhouse on Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th of March (the latter date is not currently published in the playhouse brochure or on the website).
