God Bless the Child Post-Show Talk

As part of the Big Idea events around God Bless the Child, we'll be hosting a post-show talk with playwright Molly Davies following the performance on Wed 3 Dec (7pm). After years working in the schools system as a Teaching Assistant writer Molly Davies imagines a mutiny of eight year olds in this new play about government schemes and their place in the education system. Through the new ‘Badger Do Best' behavioural initiative explored in the play the production examines what educational tools we use to teach our children and who takes ultimate responsibility in a bureaucratic education system? Molly Davies' first play A Miracle was produced in 2009 at the Royal Court Theatre as part of the 2009 Young Writers Festival. Her other credits include Shooting Truth for National Theatre Connections and Orpheus & Eurydice for National Youth Theatre and Old Vic Tunnels. The post-show talk is free with a ticket for that evening's performance. "Click here to book": www.royalcourttheatre.com/whats-on/god-bless-the-child
