SEVEN

Chickenshed’s Young Company invites you to experience the electrifying finale of a year bursting with bold ideas, fearless youth leadership and powerful exploration. This vibrant festival of performances showcases the passion, talent and imagination of our young people as they take to the stage to share work they’ve devised, developed and driven themselves.

Expect energy. Expect originality. Expect to be inspired.

Secrets of the Wylde Enter a world where imagination runs wild. Secrets of the Wylde is an original performance inspired by the spirit of Where the Wild Things Are and Safe From Harm. Created by our Young Company, this imaginative piece explores monsters, fears, escapism, and adventure - bringing inner worlds to life on stage. 

Expect bold characters, unexpected journeys, and a story that transforms fear into something powerful. Step into the wild… if you dare.

The work of the Young Company is always youth led and always developing, and our young people want as wide an audience as possible to come and see their work, so tickets for their performances are priced as Pay What You Want.

Tickets start from £5. If you want to pay over the suggested price, please feel free to do so. If, after you've seen the piece, you want to pay more please see our front of house team who will direct you to a pay point to make a donation to Chickenshed
