Decadent. Rebellious. Inventive. Glamourous. 

It's the 1920's, London. 

A group of aristocrats and socialites navigate a post-war, post-pandemic world by straddling the line between celebrating life and living a performance. 

On the surface, The Bright Young Things have it all. Throwing costume parties and treasure hunts with elaborate style and wild abandon. 

But what stories are hiding underneath the celebrity and influence? 

This piece explores what it means to be young and coming out of a time of great uncertainty, stress, and sorrow.

And what we do to reclaim our lives and rediscover our joy.
