“I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” Oscar Wilde

Every week in Speech Bubbles a child's story is turned into theatre, acted by a company of peers!

As well as more formal feedback and evaluation this year we asked school staff to tell us one thing that they would like us to know! (Using the feedback cards we use on the project). These are from our #GreaterManchester evaluation.

Bitter sweet visit to #FenstantonPrimary today. Next year will be our last with them as they are closing as part of #Lambeth response to falling roles. In a difficult situation we will bring a positive vibe and space for childrens stories!

This is why it is important...
‘Good afternoon, my name is Daniel, when I was 6 years old I took part in a programme called Speech Bubbles. I was chosen because my confidence needed building and I was shy to speak, especially in front of the class.
