It’s 2011, and best friends Ama and Bea are hiding behind the bushes at school, having decided that Sports Day isn’t for them. What begins as an act of teenage rebellion soon becomes something more complicated.

​ 

As the girls joke, dream about their futures and try to justify what they’ve done, differences in race, class and the consequences they face begin to test their friendship.

​ 

Sports Day by Priscilla Krahn is a funny and tender short play about Black girlhood, friendship, ambition and what happens when two best friends realise the world may not treat them in quite the same way.

This play is part of the Rapid Write Response to Chewing Gum Dreams by  Michaela Coel.​​
