“With a plot that explores a Wicked delivers everything you
Director of Performing Arts, Churchill Ac
Are people born wicked? Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them? A stunning re-imagining of L. Frank Baum’s classic story, Wicked continues to be a hugely popular choice with educators with its topical story of tolerance and difference. Voted ‘Best Theatre Production for Schools’ by teachers at the School Travel Awards two years running, Wicked explores themes of peer pressure, friendship and individuality through its powerful narrative.
