British comedian Sir Sir Lenny Henry has collaborated with The National Theatre to help launch its new primary school programme, Let's Play, which supports the development of drama and theatre in primary schools UK-wide.

The programme also provides training to teachers, as well as commissioning new plays for the pupils to perform, and Henry commented 'The National Theatre was founded with a mission to educate as well as entertain.... Let's Play is the perfect scheme to engage primary school children in the artistic process, it's an essential part of a young person’s creative and artistic education'.
