"To try and make sense. People wouldn’t credit it. What we went through. But it happened. It actually happened"

Originally commissioned for The Television Workshop, Lost tells the story of a class of Jewish youngsters who are held in Prague town hall. In their innocence and naivety they struggle to imagine the horrors facing them. It is a powerfully moving play which deals with survival, sacrifice, friendships, love and, above all, identity. The award-winning Lace Market Theatre Youth Group present this beautiful, emotionally-charged production that will resonate with all audiences.

Alan Hescott writes for stage, screen and radio. He is known for the television programmes Thomas and Friends, You Mother Wouldn’t Like It and Palace Hill. He has recently written his first novel Wolf Trap.

Lost was performed at Trent University in two different productions and went on to be aired on Radio 4.
