NT Connections 2025: Over and Out!

Play: You 2.0, written by Alys Metcalf

Strangers Martha and Isaac find themselves forced into playing YOU 2.0, a new therapy video game designed to help players access their better selves. As they tackle the levels in two player mode, the pair form an unlikely friendship behind the anonymity of their gaming avatars, but their impact on each other’s lives goes much deeper than the game.

ABOUT THE PLAY 'SHOUT'
“If you don’t shout, and scream, and make your mark, then how do you get heard?”

 In a world full of words, how can Dana survive when she can’t speak? Dana has selective mutism, but that doesn't stop her vivid imagination. Who we are is not just defined by the noise we make. Shout is a funny, moving play about anxiety, celebrating differences, and finding your voice. 

A play that wonders what exactly it takes to overcome anxiety and mental health issues as a young person.
