Produced and presented by The Earls Courtiers and The National Theatre Connections Festival

“It’s ok. I know your head’s fallen off and I just want you to know everyone’s has.”

Life. Love. Family. Navigating the perils of growing up, young people have their own unique ways to figure out what it’s all about, eventually discovering we’re really all part of the same ‘Sad Club’.

A riotous piece of gig theatre, The Sad Club is musical commissioned by the National Theatre that mixes live music, with a collection of monologues and duologues from all over time and space, exploring what about living in this world stops us from being happy and how we might go about tackling those problems.
