Waterford Youth Arts for National Theatre, London NT Connections 2025 presents Saba’s Swim by Danusia Samal
Seven months ago, Saba walked out of her Pre-Leaving Cert and didn’t come back. Her friends don’t understand why. Now, on Deb’s night, Saba has finally made contact, challenging her friends to track her down via a series of cryptic clues.
But when the friends are finally reunited, Saba is different. The way she sees the world has changed.
And what she’s asking of her friends… is it more than they can give?
