OUR PLAYS for PSHE
Transforming young peoples lives’ through theatre.
Our educational plays link directly to PSHCE guidelines set out in the national curriculum and contribute to schools’ SMSC requirements as assessed for by OFSTED.
Our plays are frank and hard-hitting whilst using humour and music to help students relate to challenging subjects. Students can easily engage with the plays and our partner schools often rebook on an annual basis.
Each play can be performed to a full year group and is performed by a cast of trained and DBS checked peer educators, all of whom are part of our in-house actor Development Programme. Our tours have grown in popularity over the years so booking early is the best way to ensure getting your first choice of date and time. Explore our current programme below.
Man up
For year 9 and above.
In light of growing evidence showing a notable increase in misogynistic attitudes among young people, we have developed this new play aimed at empowering and uplifting young men, as well as their communities and people of all genders who support them.
Man Up tells the story of childhood friends Lottie and Logan as they navigate growing up together and try to work out how to act and how to be in an increasingly confusing world where no one knows the rules any more.

Masking
For year 8 and above.
Masking is a play designed to address the impact of modern life on teenagers’ mental health.
When the school’s lockdown alarm sounds everyone assumes it’s a drill. But soon a group of year 9 students find themselves stuck in a geography classroom with only Deputy Head Prefect Jamie to keep them under control. It becomes clear that the school is in lockdown because of an ‘incident’ with a pupil. While the group speculate as to the identity of the student and the nature of the ‘incident ‘it slowly emerges that, although no one’s talking about it, the students are all grappling with mental health issues of their own.
Masking is a play by Peer Productions’ Artistic Director Nina Lemon designed to address the impact of modern life on teenagers’ mental health.
Please note: For logistical reasons, it is only possible for us to perform in person for schools in the South East.
For schools across the rest of the country, we are delighted to offer Digital Resources, including our Digital Production of Hidden.
