There is a simple but clever premise to this play. The playwright has interviewed primary school children and recorded their private chats. He has then put the words of these children into adult actors, in actor scenarios. You have adults, speaking the honest and sometimes hilarious words of children, whilst performing adult actions. It would work well with GCSE or A Level groups.

Award-winning writer Chris Goode teamed up with Karl James (The Dialogue Project) to ask thirty 8-10 year-olds to talk about their lives, their thoughts, their world. In Monkey Bars their words are spoken by adults. Not adults playing children, but adults playing adults, in adult situations. Monkey Bars is a revelatory verbatim show that is funny, touching and endlessly surprising. Winner of a 2012 Fringe First Award.

delightfully surreal … highly entertaining… Hilarious and poignant by turns. 4 stars --Telegraph
