The Children's Inquiry

Children aren't silent Children are fearless Social workers tell Jelicia that she is their success story. Frank is on his eighth foster home. At school no one knows Amber and Angelica are in care. To own their present and make a better future, these teenagers must first unearth their past. The Children's Inquiry is a call to arms about the value of childhood and a musical that tells how love can be found in the most unexpected places. A revolutionary true story crafted from the voices of the children themselves by multi-award-winning LUNG, The Children's Inquiry opened at Southwark Playhouse, London, in July 2024.
