Winner!
Senior ATYP Foundation Commission 2018
One quiet night, the street lights flicker
out and plunge the world into darkness.
A “lights out” party is announced in Royal
Park, and every kid in town makes their
way there to celebrate this
strange occurrence.
A trio of role–players leave their game
and embark on a quest for revenge... two
enterprising youngsters sell torches at
reasonable prices... the disgraced star
of a viral video looks to make her social
comeback and the floor–mopper at the
local chemist encounters the worst kind of
shoplifter. All these stories unfold on the
way to Royal Park because everybody’s on
their way to the same party. And it is not
to be missed.
The Senior ATYP Foundation Commission
develops a new play each year that
showcases the skills of actors aged 14–17.
Published by Playlab, this is your chance
to see the first production of a show that
will be presented in schools around the
country for years to come.

Things feel darker in the dark,
don't they? Okay, that sounded
more profound in my head.”
