Mind The Gap Year
Wabi-Sabi Productions • Student/Youth company
About the show
Mind The Gap Year follows four teenagers over twelve months as they get a taste of the real world before embarking on whatever comes next. As they plan their adventures and begin to work out who they will be, a frightening realisation hits: a gap year cannot last forever. Will they rise to the challenge and forge an iconic legacy, or crumble and question everything? Filled with laughs, live music and a touch of pathos, the show is presented by Wabi-Sabi Productions, a student and youth company.
Why see this show?
A live music comedy that captures the particular anxiety of standing on the edge of your future. Funny, musical and genuinely relatable — even if your gap year is long behind you.
