You 2.0 by Alys Metcalf

You 2.0 by Alys Metcalf

Strangers Martha and Isaac find themselves forced into playing YOU 2.0, a new therapy video game designed to help players access their better selves. As they tackle the levels in two player mode, the pair form an unlikely friendship behind the anonymity of their gaming avatars, but their impact on each other’s lives goes much deeper than the game.

Performed as part of the 2025 Connections Festival, the National Theatre’s annual, nationwide celebration of new writing. Schools and youth theatres across the country perform a new piece of writing developed for the programme at their home venues before visiting a festival theatre. 2025 is the Festival’s 30th year.
