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 revolutionary true story crafted from the voices of the children themselves by multi-award-winning LUNG, The Children's Inquiry opened at Southwark Playhouse, London, in July 2024.
Founded in Barnsley in 2014, LUNG is a verbatim theatre company that tours work nationally. They create work that shines a light on political, social and economic issues in modern Britain using people's actual words to tell their stories. LUNG are partners at The Lowry and Creative Associates with National Theatre Learning.
