For many young people, a visit to Chickenshed is their first experience of live theatre - a powerful moment where stories, characters, and big ideas come to life on stage. Seeing theatre in real time helps students connect emotionally and intellectually with themes that matter - in a way no screen can match!

A trip to The Wrong They Knew enriches learning across the English, Drama, and PSHE curriculum, supporting:

• Critical thinking around narrative, character, and theme
• Creative expression and interpretation
• Speaking, listening, and collaboration skills
• Social awareness, empathy, and cultural understanding

Set in 1950s London, The Wrong They Knew tells the powerful story of a community coming together. As tensions and division rises on the streets of Forest Hills, a spirited group of young people navigate friendship and prejudice - united by a dream to create the city’s first Community Carnival.

Inspired by the spirit of literary classics likeTo Kill a Mockingbird, Small Island, and Cry, the Beloved Country, it explores themes of justice, identity, and the power of youth-led change.

It’s a thought-provoking experience for secondary school students and a great opportunity to spark classroom discussions on race, history and activism.
