How do you protect a memory against a homophobic bully, when the bully is your own brother?

Stockport Garrick Youth Theatre with National Theatre Connections 2025 presents Normalised By Amanda Verlaque:

When an environmental campaign is the catalyst for protecting an LGBTQIA+ shrine, a group of friends must confront what comes first – friends, or family. And as the stakes rise, the battle lines are drawn between being loyal, being an ally, and what does ‘normal’ really mean anyway?


Connections is the National Theatre's annual, nationwide youth theatre festival, championing the talent of young people from across the UK.

Each year the National Theatre commissions ten new plays for young people to perform, bringing together some of the UK’s most exciting writers with the theatre-makers of tomorrow.
