Death of a junior salesman

5 - 15 February 2026

Shopfront Arts Co-Op

A year long devising ensemble comprised of Young People aged 11-17 and directed by professional theatremakers.

A potentially illegal, proudly chaotic, and brutally honest reimagining — made through the eyes of Young People who’ve had enough of being told to act their age.

Yearly Ensemble dismantles the generational dream — the monument to midlife misery — and rebuilds it with humour and rage. Between the milk and cheese, they ask: why are adults so obsessed with telling us how to live when they’re the ones who seem lost?

Death of a Junior Salesman is a messy reflection of growing up in a frame of mind that keeps holding them back.
