Meet the Kids is a powerful coming-of-age play by writer-director Desiri Okobia that amplifies the voices of four teenagers — a rapper, a poet, a vulnerable girl, and an overachiever — navigating identity, grief, faith, and peer pressure within the pressures of school and everyday life.
As they face challenges at home, in the classroom, and among their peers, these young people confront the expectations placed on them — by others and by themselves — and discover what it truly means to be heard.
For these kids, school isn’t just about surviving exams — it’s about surviving life. Raw, honest, and deeply human, Meet the Kids invites audiences to listen closely to voices we too often overlook, celebrating resilience, courage, and the power of speaking out.
Following its acclaimed debut at Peckham Fringe 2025, the production has gone on to secure further programming at Bridge House Theatre and Greenwich Theatre, signalling its growing resonance with audiences and industry programmers alike.
Meet Quincy, Angelique, Billie-Jo, and Jessica as they fight to reclaim their voices in a world determined to silence them.
