EveryChild and Save the Children UK, have collaborated with iceandfire to stage a new play based on real testimonies of vulnerable children around the world.

20 years on from the creation of the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) Listen to Me tells the stories of children living on the streets, fleeing conflict, trapped in bonded labour and growing up in abusive households and will explore whether children have seen an improvement in their lives.

The play was performed for an invited audience of children’s rights experts, charities, opinion formers and decision makers at the prestigious Unicorn Theatre, the UK’s flagship theatre for young people in London, on 16 November. The script is now available for groups of children to perform themselves and share these stories further.

Children tell us in their own words about the realities and challenges of their daily lives. Why not put on the play yourself by printing off the scripts below:
