Unacceptable is a fantastic applied theatre project, developed by Narrative Alchemy (the team behind ‘Chelsea’s Story’, ‘County Lines’, and ‘Breaking the Chain’), aimed at raising awareness, kick-starting conversations and promoting cultural change around sexism, misogyny, sexual harassment and sexual violence (VAWG, violence against women and girls).

To date, it has had an audience of over 30,000 young people in schools across the country. The writers created the play to be engaging, non-judgemental, and to empower boys to reflect on their actions, while also showing girls that they do not have to tolerate unacceptable behaviour and acting as an early intervention for schools.

Sexism, sexual harassment and sexual violence are, unfortunately, an issue for every school in every community in the UK. In order to combat these issues, we need to understand and raise awareness of what they are, what creates them and what can be done to expose and respond to the harmful attitudes that perpetuate harassment and gender injustice.
