YAC presents The Playground

Step into a week of outstanding theatre with renowned drama school: The Young Actors Company. Our talented young performers take to the stage bringing powerful stories to life in a celebration of young talent, bold storytelling, and the magic of live performance. Whether you are supporting a young actor or discovering us for the first time, we can’t wait to welcome you to an unforgettable week of theatre.

In the grim playground of her new primary school in London, Ola encounters the spirits of the ancient Copper Beech Tree, the Playground, and the School, and inspires a campaign to make the playground beautiful again. She discovers a secret garden, but will she and the other pupils succeed in saving it from contractors, or will it serve as a reminder to Ola of the devastation wrought in her native Nigeria?
