Primetime: Young Writers Festival and Peckham Young Playwrights Project

Pack your bags and hold on tight and you're whisked away on a whirlwind of adventure. And get ready to meet a host of captivating characters, including a talking sausage roll, a troop of cocktail-loving monkeys and a long-nosed hippo called Gary, who will win you over with their charm whether you're 8 or 80.The Primetime plays were developed during the Young Writers Festival and Peckham Young Playwrights project in 2012, with the help of Royal Court playwrights Nick Payne and Rachel De-lahay. The plays were performed in the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs in 2013, as part of a programme called Kids Court, where children took over the theatre. A selection of the plays were then performed for the Royal Court's Primetime Schools Tour in London primary schools in 2014.
