From Drama Queens Brighton

Fabulous photos from our play For What It’s Worth, performed at the Lantern Theatre in Brighton this July and written by Andrew Allen.

A huge thank you to for capturing these brilliant moments, and to our super-talented group of young people for working so hard to create and perform such an emotional and exciting play.

We couldn’t be prouder of everything they achieved, both on and off the stage. Po Thanks again to for providing us with brilliant sound for the day.

If you’d like to be part of our independent and friendly inclusive youth theatre, we’re now taking bookings for September. Get in touch to book your free trial!
