about the company
Adytum Theatre is a Plymouth based company made up of 3 sixth form students who felt they had never seen theatre tell stories relevant to their generation. Our goal is to tell young people's stories from young people's perspectives and highlight the issues facing our generations as we move forward and inherit the world.
Deep Breaths and Duloxetine was written to show how despite young people struggling with their mental health more than ever, the system still fails to help us, and how, in our fracturing society, Human connection has never been more important.
