NT Connections | Cloud Busting

Based on the celebrated novel by Malorie Blackman, this moving production follows Sam on a day that begins as ordinary but ends in a life-changing realisation.

When Class 8M is tasked with writing a poem about someone they care about, Sam unexpectedly chooses his secret friend, Davey. While others see Davey as either an object of pity or a target for being "different," Sam appreciates Davey’s unique way of seeing the world, yet he consistently denies their bond. When a bullying incident pushes things too far, Sam must decide if he has the courage to finally stand up for his friend.

This powerful play explores the complexities of peer pressure, the beauty of individuality, and the true cost of silence.
