Last  of our Hot Chicks cast is Richard Elis. Richard plays Cheney, chicken shop owner, Penlan born and bred. The shop is getting a bit tired, but he's a proud man &keeps it spotless. He's protective of Kyla and Ruby, even though they try it on for freebies too often!

The third of our Hot Chicks cast is Rachel Redford who plays Sadie. Sadie is a newcomer to Cheney's Chicken shop. She walks in looking 'a million dollars' and before long Kyla & Ruby are hanging off her every word. Rachel's theatre credits include The Jungle for the Young Vic.

Our production Hot Chicks shines a light on child criminal exploitation in Wales, we hope that it can help to raise awareness of this widespread issue. Read more in this article about hopes that new laws being put in place will shift the blame away from the child victims onto those exploiting them.

What a fantastic week we had at #SwanseaGrand with our Hot Chicks company! Lots of script work, a visit to meet the brilliant members of CMET's Young People's Panel and on Friday a rehearsed reading of Rebecca Jade Hammond's funny and gut wrenching script.

You probably know that #Eastenders turns 40 this week (it's been quite hard to miss!) But did you know that the lovely Richard Elis who plays Cheney in Hot Chicks, our new co-production with Sherman Theatre, played Huw, the first Welsh character in Eastenders back in 1996?

LETS GO!💥
Penlan, Swansea, Now.
Teenagers Ruby and Kyla spend their evenings hanging at Cheney’s chicken shop dreaming of moving to Vegas and going viral. A chance encounter with older, cooler Sadie, means their dreams of pool parties and showering in dollars could become a reality…but at what price?
