Youth Advisory Board Showcase - The Weight of Wanting : A Study of Obsession
The Arts Centre Hounslow, Hounslow, TW3 1ES
Thursday 16th April 2026
Join us for an evening of performance exploring themes of obsession, longing, and the pressure to fit in.
Through a mix of songs from both well-known and lesser-known musicals, alongside powerful self-written monologues, our young performers share honest and thought-provoking work. This piece looks at how young people’s voices are often overlooked, and the impact of social expectations on identity, belonging, and self-expression.
The performance is informal, raw, and led by the voices of the group.
Content warning: This performance includes references to death, dying, and violence.
Age restriction: 11+
