Scene & Heard

Scene & Heard is a unique mentoring project that partners the children of Somers Town, Camden, with volunteer theatre professionals. We give the children intensive, one-to-one adult attention, enabling them to write plays that professional actors perform. We’ve been working with the children, families and schools in Somers Town since 1999. Our performances give children immediate and public experiences of success, raising their aspirations and boosting their self-esteem. Scene & Heard is committed to producing the highest quality theatre with and for the Somers Town community. Our work improves literacy skills and attitudes towards education and develops communication and social skills. “Scene & Heard makes me feel like the centre of the universe and like Shakespeare.” Member Playwright
