Twelve teenagers have had enough.

School is unfair, adults don’t understand them, and the world is a hostile place.

So they decide to make their own world. Deep in the wilderness of the Scottish Highlands, they find each other — escaping their realities in search of a new way of being.

Days turn into months and the abandoned house becomes a home. They try again and again to work out how to live with each other, and without any adults. But tensions rise, and it gets harder to trust one another as the realities of life off-grid bite. How long will their secret last? And will they make it through together?

Devised by the members of Camden Youth Theatre in collaboration with CYT Director Omar Bynon, The Place We Made explores the utopias we imagine for ourselves in all their wildness, freedom, and complexity.
