God Bless the Child received its world premiere in the Upstairs space on 12 November 2014, directed by Royal Court Artistic Director Vicky Featherstone.

Recenzii

A very funny, lively satire on imposed educational formulae
[A] darkly funny and thought-provoking drama
There are plenty of amusingly, unnervingly plausible ideas in this smart satire on child-centred learning
[An] entertaining, satisfying satire on formulaic teaching and mindlessly positive thinking
In God Bless the Child at the Royal Court, Molly Davies created, through an atmosphere of ominous comedy and sharp characterisation of children and adults, a sort of Lord of the Flies for the modern education system in a play that also has broader relevance to other professions and institutions in which questionable new methods have been imposed from top-down. Whereas some dramatists are most comfortable with either words or images, Davies can vividly do both.
