Blatchington Mill School giving it their all in the final song \u2013 Bold and Fearless.Com<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

I<\/span>n 2006, the National Theatre commissioned a musical version of Feather Boy<\/a> for the Shell Connections series of new writing for young people. Peter Tabern (who\u00a0wrote and produced the BBC film) and Nicky co-wrote the script with lyrics by Don\u00a0Black and music by Debbie Wiseman.<\/p>\n

Over 200 schools take part in Connections each year, each school selecting one of ten newly\u00a0commissioned pieces to perform. These performances are then seen at Regional Showcases\u00a0by National Theatre staff who select just one to go forward to the final Festival of new work\u00a0at the National in July. Twenty-five schools and community groups chose to do Feather Boy\u00a0and the NT chose a fantastic performance by Blatchington Mill School, in Nicky\u2019s hometown of Brighton and Hove, as overall winner.<\/p>\n

And now\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feather Boy the Musical \u2013 the West End version<\/h2>\n

Long-term NT staff director Anthony Banks has asked Nicky, Don and Debbie to re-write Feather Boy once again \u2013 this time starring only people under 12 and over 70. They are excited.
