Students Explore Environmental Issues in Drama Workshop

On Tuesday 14 March, 50 students took part in a drama workshop delivered by the Marlowe Theatre in preparation for their August production of 'The Trials'.
 
The workshop explored themes around the environment and allowed students to voice their concerns about the planet through practical exploration. The idea behind the workshop was to stimulate discussion about current green legislation and to raise awareness about Dawn King's play 'The Trials'.
 
In the play a jury of twelve young people hold adults to account for the damage they have done to the planet and their failure to protect it for future generations. 
 
Marlowe workshop leader, Vicky Wright, said "It was inspiring to hear their debates and to see the energy and physicality during the session."
 
At the end of the workshop students were given seeds to plant and invited to sign up for auditions in May. The production will run at the Marlowe from Thursday 31 August to 2 September.
