Britney’s Lock Performed at Theatre Peckham
BYT were excited to be working at Dean Street Studios, Soho, alongside members of the fantastic House Gospel Choir.
We were supported by award-winning artist and television personality Alesha Dixon, as we recorded music for the soundtrack of new film Fire Lily
Fire Lily is written and directed by filmmaker and poet Phil Dunn and produced by Theresa Godly.

Brixton Youth Theatre is excited to be taking part in NT Connections Youth Theatre Festival 2026. We are thrilled to be teaming up with Theatre Peckham our Connections Partner Theatre Company for a performance of the play.
Britney’s Lock:
When Ruby acquires a lock of Britney Spears’ hair as a relic to help her stay calm during her GCSE mocks, her friends dismiss it, but one by one they feel its power and want a piece of it, until it is destroyed. This funny play about how we cope in stressful situations, explores the power of belief and friendship.
