Description
It's Christmas and Tammy and Chris, cousins and best mates, are thrilled to receive new bikes. However, their excitement is short-lived as they get into an accident when Chris suffers a puncture and Tammy agrees to walk with him. In a moment of recklessness, they decide to race across the road, which leads to a surprising outcome.
This revised 2020 version of Chicken includes updated references, a new foreword by Adrian New, and additional funny lines. The play has been performed over 5,800 times since its original creation in 1992 and is suitable for Key Stage 2 audiences. It can be doubled to accommodate two male and three female characters.
The play explores themes of bullying, peer pressure, and road safety, making it an engaging and thought-provoking experience for young performers. With a duration of approximately 45 minutes, Chicken is a powerful and entertaining play that is perfect for schools and theatre groups.
