A fried chicken chain is swapping poultry wings for theatre wings, by showing its support for London’s arts scene.

Morley’s Chicken is getting behind new one-man play Chicken Burger n Chips, by paying for young people to see the production.

The restaurant franchise — which has more than 40 venues south of the river — is sponsoring theatre tickets for youngsters who might not have otherwise been able to see the show.

The generous move means that 40 young people will be able to see the sold-out play for free.

Created by actor and playwright Corey Bovell, the show is to run for five nights at the Brockley Jack Studio Theatre.

The story is set in the summer of 2009 and follows Corey and Jodie as they come to terms with a series of events in their beloved Lewisham Borough.

In the play, Bovell uses experiences from his teenage years to shine a light on relationships, gentrification and knife crime, whilst also paying homage to the south London community.

Morley’s Chicken — which features heavily in Bovell’s storyline — will also be providing branded props for the show.

Maeve O’Neill from Rua Arts, producer of Chicken Burger n Chips, said: “We are delighted that Morley’s Chicken have shown real interest and engaged with this production.

“Morley's Chicken shops are part of south London's culture and feature as an integral location within this story. To have the support of local businesses is fantastic and helps ensure that this story reaches and resonates with the very community in which it is set.”

Chicken Burger n Chips runs at the Brockley Jack Studio Theatre from March 10 -14, brockleyjack.co.uk
