Scene & Heard, is a British registered charity which operates as a mentoring project for inner-city children in Somers Town, London.
Much of the charity's work involves teaming children with a volunteer theatre professional to write short plays, which are presented in front of enthusiastic audiences and provide the children with an experience of success, pride and increased self-esteem. Additionally, the plays are renowned for their quirky logic, strange poetry and characters based on animals and inanimate objects.
The work is based on that of The 52nd Street Project, which has been successfully working with economically disadvantaged children in New York for 20 years.
Scene & Heard was founded by Kate Coleman and Sophie Boyack and its patrons are Emily Watson and Samuel West.
