The initiative aims to host a performance in all 533 constituencies across England and encourages each attending group to tailor the performance to suit the needs of their circumstances. The performance could be either a new or existing work. Examples include a short performance by children and young people in a school, a drama-centred assembly, or a cross-curricular drama project in school.
