A Young Vic Taking Part project, led by Neighbourhood Theatre Company.
A six-part podcast series celebrating local voices in Lambeth and Southwark. We’ll uncover stories about our community over the past 25 years and look ahead to the next 25 years, with even more stories to share.
This series is a tribute to the legacy of our community work and its long-lasting impact. Our episodes will be published on the 25th of each month, starting in July which will take us right through to the end of the year.

Do you remember when…? This episode of Journeys takes a trip down memory lane to inspire and stimulate other people’s curiosity, to question our surroundings and to see things in a new light. In a world where our memories are filtered through social media, two members of Neighbourhood Theatre Company reflect on their own experiences to ask questions about community, injustice, culture and change.
