The Reading Room is a meeting with a stranger brave enough to share the diaries of her/his youth. The diaries and their authors will take audience on the intimate and personal journey in time, revealing the world as seen through the eyes of teenagers in different decades.
The work is commissioned by the festival as a part of the festival’s 20th anniversary programme, Twenty.
