Orange Tree Young Company presents
NT Connections Festival 2026: Britney’s Lock
By Alexandra Wood.
02 May, 7.30pm
Britney’s Lock will be performed by Orange Tree Young Company as part of National Theatre Connections 2026.
When Ruby acquires a lock of Britney Spears’ hair as a relic to help her stay calm during her GCSE mocks, her friends dismiss it, but one by one they feel its power and want a piece of it, until it is destroyed. This funny play about how we cope in stressful situations, explores the power of belief and friendship.
