Internet Matters: ‘Plays on the Internet’ helps tackle online safety through theatre

In collaboration with Plusnet, children’s author Konnie Huq and Theatre Group Chickenshed, Internet Matters have created a trilogy of plays to help educate families on internet safety. The plays launched on April 29th with a one-off performance at Chickenshed in London, a youth theatre group that works with children to help them understand important social issues through performing arts.
