The National Theatre is encouraging primary school teachers across the South West to join its newly launched programme, Let’s Play, which gives schools the chance to put on a play specially commissioned and developed by the National Theatre. 

Let’s Play commissions exciting new plays with songs and music for children to perform and provides teachers with training and professional development to help them create an extraordinary piece of theatre with children at both Key Stage 1 and 2. New plays commissioned for Let’s Play include A Quest for Arthur, a lively re-telling of the legends of King Arthur, Megaball, an original piece exploring friendship, and Hercules and Phoebe, inspired by the Greek myth.
