Will their postcodes keep them in their place?
East meets West across the education divide when four London teenagers compete for a prestigious scholarship. As they venture across the capital into unfamiliar territories, friendships are tested, aspirations are challenged and each is forced to decide what matters most. Will the best candidate win or will their postcodes keep them in their place? This vibrant, timely and touching new work takes the pulse on coming-of-age in an increasingly divided city.

You’ll create your own work and learn new games and techniques, exploring the themes of the play using drama, writing, music and movement.

We’ll look at topics such as:
Friendship/loneliness at school
Societal pressures / personal ambitions
Similarities / differences within class, race, postcodes.

We’ll devise short performances to be shared with an audience of family and friends on the last day.
