Children's Inquiry

A revolutionary verbatim musical about the lives and dreams of children in care: winner of the Sky Arts Award for Theatre 2025.

Children aren't silent
Children are fearless

Social workers tell Jelicia that she is their success story. Frank is on his eighth foster home. At school no one knows Amber and Angelica are in care. To own their present and make a better future, these teenagers must first unearth their past.

The Children's Inquiry is a call to arms about the value of childhood and a musical that tells how love can be found in the most unexpected places.

A true story crafted from the voices of the children themselves, The Children's Inquiry opened at Southwark Playhouse, London, in July 2024.
