A Royal Exchange Theatre production
29 March - 02 April 2017

By Amanda Dalton, adapted from the novel by Janne Teller. Directed by Bryony Shanahan.
When teenager Pierre Anthon cheerfully announces that nothing in life has meaning, his friends decide to prove him wrong. Fearful he might in fact be right, their desperate actions spiral out of control and lead to terrifying consequences.
Written in 2000 and translated in 2010, NOTHING caused widespread controversy in its native Denmark, receiving great critical acclaim, winning numerous awards, and simultaneously being banned in many schools and libraries.
Following the sell-out success of BRINK, the Royal Exchange Theatre Young Company returns in collaboration with director Bryony Shanahan and writer Amanda Dalton. Powerful and unsettling, this brand new adaptation of Janne Teller's novel is a UK stage premiere.
Following a sell-out run of the world premiere in the Studio in 2016, NOTHING returns by popular demand in Spring 2017.
Winner of Manchester Theatre Awards 2017 Youth Panel Award.
I produced Nothing on behalf of the Royal Exchange Theatre.
