Written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields
Groan Ups premiered in London on 20 September 2019 and ran until 1 December 2019 at the Vaudeville Theatre in the West End, and was the inaugural production of Mischief’s year long residency that ended early in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The first UK tour began in August 2021, and was one of the first shows to tour the UK following the pandemic, opening at Bath Theatre Royal and touring until March 2022.
Replica and non-replica professional performance rights are available worldwide, with non-English local language productions currently playing.
A comedy all about growing up.
Do we choose who we become? Is the story of our lives already written? Do we ever really grow up? Follow an unruly classroom of six year-olds on their journey through anarchic high school teenagers to the challenges of adulthood.
This hilarious coming of age caper explores if schools really can determine our future, this is a lesson not to be skipped!
The Mischief Production of GROAN UPS was originally produced
