The Soup Movement

Tuesday 25 March 2025 19:00 - 21:00

MGS Drama is excited to bring a world premiere to the stage in March 2025.  The Soup Movement is a much-loved children’s fiction by Ben Davis.  Nominated for the prestigious Carnegie Medal, shortlisted for the Little Rebels Award and winner of the 2022 Brilliant Book Award, this will be the first theatrical adaptation of Ben’s work.

Whilst recovering from a life-changing illness with his family in the countryside, teenager Jordan is encouraged by his Mum to eat as much of her healthy soup as possible.  But when Jordan meets a homeless man called Harry, and gives him the soup instead, an unlikely friendship begins.  One which grows and grows into #thesoupmovement.

Inspired by a heart-warming true story, this is an ideal production for all the family.  Featuring a cast comprising of students from MGS and Manchester High School For Girls, this funny and uplifting story is one not to be missed.
