Drama and Production Lead Miss Howell said: “This isn’t an easy story to hear, and it isn’t meant to be, but it opens a conversation that is absolutely essential: a conversation about mental health, vulnerability, and the realities many young people quietly carry.
Performances are Tuesday, 21 April and Wednesday, 22 April at 7pm.
Tickets are £7 each and can be purchased via SCOPay or on the door (cash only, please).
Due to the sensitive nature of the play, this production is restricted to age Year 7+.
Show ends at 8.15pm approx.
