On LOL: With the tragic consequences of cyberbullying being seen regularly in the media it is important that students are educated about the impact of their actions and the law surrounding this crime - LOL is a script I will return to again and again. - Year 10 teacher On ROCKETFUEL: Every child in my class was so absorbed in the play. You seem to have really hit the message home to them. A fantastic starting point for the rest of the year's PSHE curriculum. - Year 8 Teacher On NOAH: ... a terrific re-imagining of the biblical story. Rachel Barnett's writing is immediate, intelligent, bold, quirky, consistently surprising and compelling for young people. - Theatre Director, Chichester Festival Theatre
