After years of working in the classroom, Molly Davies brings her new play in which she imagines a mutiny of eight-year-olds to the Royal Court.

God Bless The Child tells the story of Badger Do Best, which brings a new world of rules and regulations to the school day. But, tired of being guinea pigs in yet another government scheme, the kids are fighting back. Can the class of 4N bring down the education regime set to pacify them?

Davies’ first play A Miracle was produced at the Royal Court in 2009 when it played as part of the 2009 Young Writers Festival. Her other credits include Shooting Truth for National Theatre Connections and Orpheus & Eurydice for National Youth Theatre and Old Vic Tunnels.

The production is directed by the Royal Court’s Artistic Director Vicky Featherstone.
