During the school year the Road Safety team commissions theatre companies to tour around local schools with a road safety play. This helps to teach and remind children of all ages about the importance of road safety.

In the 2006/2007 school year two productions toured Kingston schools:

• Now You See Me; Now You Don't
• The Price

In the 2007/2008 school year, we are also looking forward to the return of a popular play:

• Peli & Zebe's Road-tastic Adventure

All these productions are designed to promote road safety messages and highlight the dangers of crossing between parked cars, using mobile phones, and failing to wear seatbelts. The plays also continue to remind children about the basic rules of the Green Cross Code.

Now You See Me; Now You Don't

This is an interactive performance and workshop package designed for year 6 pupils. This tells the story of Aaron, an 11 year old boy who wants to be an Olympic runner, and how one day, coming home from school, he was knocked down by a car.  

The play focuses on themes of transition; encouraging young people to prepare themselves for secondary school and understand that they have increasing control over their own and other people's safety.

Now You See Me; Now You Don't has been developed with and for young people by Camden Public Safety Team and Immediate Theatre, and is funded by Transport for London.

The Price

This is a powerful play for year 7 which has been commissioned by Transport for London (TfL) to tour all schools across Greater London.

The show has been touring since September 2003 and has been a huge success, setting a benchmark for extremely high production values and taking a unique approach to tackling the growing problem of pupils’ attitudes to road safety.

Arnie P. Blinchenstein is the cigar-chomping producer of Hellivision TV and is about to launch his new satellite television news programme ‘The Price’. Protégé Slick Mepho fronts the programme but soon becomes disillusioned with the crass way their Road Safety Special is developing. And Slick has a secret that he cannot hold back any longer...

Peli & Zebe's Road-tastic Adventure

This play, produced by The Dangerous Theatre Company, toured Kingston schools during 2005/2006 school year. The feedback received showed this was very popular with children in years 1 and 2 and their teachers.

The production humorously tells the story of two hedgehogs, Peli and his uncle Zebe, who travel around the borough searching for the Roadwise Ranger, using clues and audience participation to help them find safe places to cross the road.

A series of different characters also assist in their search and help remind them of the Green Cross Code along the way. Throughout the 2007/2008 school year, this show will complete a scheduled of 32 performances in Kingston’s Primary and Infant schools.
