Ride or Die by Florence Espeut-Nickless for National Theatre Connections 2026 Home Performance

Duckegg Theatre Acting School's Yorkshire ProTeam present Ride of Die by Florence Espeut-Nickless for National Theatre Connections 2026.

Synopsis:

Welcome humans,

Party goers,

Thrill seekers,

To the ride!

In case it ain’t clear,

The ride begins tonight.

Here,

At number 39,

In Nans front room.

Join us as we take glimpse into the life of the Theme Park OBSESSED Allstar siblings: Alesha, Axcel, Ace, Ariel & Angel. These siblings are elite 'think like famous five, if the famous five was working class and cool'. The battle to decide which Theme Park is the best, Thorpe Park or Alton Towners, maybe even Chessington, is ever ongoing between the siblings. We MUST have an answer! With Angel FINALLY being old enough to go and cast the final vote, the wait should be over! But navigating the teen years is never simple, with a big dose of family drama and school misfortune thrown in the the mix how will our Allstars fare?
