Chicken!
Duration: 40 minutes Cast: 2f & 2 m with doubling or up to 9 (4m, 3f & 2).
Ideal for One Act Play Festivals. Past Festival winner.

Chicken has been performed an average of 2 times every term time day since it was created. Could this be a record? It is fast catching up my most performed play Too Much Punch For Judy.

Chicken tells the story of two cousins, Tammy and Chris leading the audience to believe that in the end Chris will be killed in a cycle accident because of a refusal to wear a cycle helmet. Ultimately Tammy is killed in a game of "Chicken" on the one morning that the cousins do not cycle to school. Chris remains to this day unwilling to tell anyone else of his part in the accident, but has to live with his dreadful secret. As Chris says in the play "there is no known cure" for even a moment's stupidity but hopefully, you can learn from it!

Chicken is proven to be enjoyable to perform and thrilling to watch. If it was not as good as it says in this blurb, it wouldn't have been performed so often!

"A powerful play with a surprising twist."
Charles Vance - Amateur Stage

John Askew - Secretary, County Road Safety Officers Association
