In 2022 Young SixSix presented their bold reimagining of the Ancient Greek comedy Lysistrata. Transported to the battleground of Bristol's streets, it explored the complex relationships between a group of young people trying to figure out their place in the world.

It was devised by the company, with support from Bristol poet Vanessa Kisuule as writer in the room.

Young SixSix is an ensemble made up of young people from across central and north Bristol offering a pathway into theatre for young people who may not have considered it before.

Supported by the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation, the company began in 2018 and immediately created a reputation for powerful, raw and honest productions with a political heart, tying their hugely creative work on stage to the world they live in.
