About Youth in Flames

Listed Under Theatre Events

Amid the 2019 Hong Kong protests, one girl searches for her sense of home whilst a city fights for its own identity.

Chaos. Rebellion. A city on the brink. But Millie’s focused on living life to the full – who wouldn’t? Amid the 2019 Hong Kong protests, Millie searches for her sense of home whilst a city fights for its identity. She’s normally the outsider; bold, rebellious, and impossible to resist. But this time, Millie finds herself face to face with a future she can’t ignore.

A love letter to Hong Kong and a snapshot of a generation caught in political unrest, Youth in Flames explores the search for belonging in a rapidly changing world – and the cost of ignorance when our attention is needed most.

Written and performed by Mimi Martin
Directed by Jessica Whiley

Recipient of the Keep it Fringe Fund Award, Youth in Flames makes its debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
