Game Over - What's it about?
3 March 2022
GAME OVER is an utterly compelling piece of verbatim theatre with significant messages to deliver. It educates young people on how to keep safe online and to recognise the signs of grooming and exploitation in an engaging and creative way.
Game Over tells the harrowing true story of teenager Breck Bednar, who was groomed over the internet and brutally murdered on 17th February 2014 by a supposed ‘friend’ that he met online.
Who was Breck Bednar and what's his story?

Lead Teacher for Drama, Miss Howell, said: "Our students are excited to be able to bring a different style of theatre to the community and to be able to send a message that is vitally important in today’s society.
"Many of our children spend time online via gaming or social media and it is important as role models that we educate them of the dangers and recognising the signs of grooming.
"Here at Priory, we take great pride in our Performing Arts department and wanted to broaden the cultural experiences that our students are exposed to. We also want to show the community different styles of theatre, allowing the public to see the different strengths and talents our students have as well as bring something thought provoking and educational."
