Kids to see road safety play

Jan 22 2009 by Shirley Bartynek, Hamilton Advertiser

A ROAD safety theatre production "The Journey" will be performed for P6 classes in schools.

The play will explore the developing relationships between a group of friends as they journey through primary school towards secondary.

The production of the play will be in the style of forum theatre where the children will be able to stop the play at any point and ask questions.

They can, if they wish, suggest different ways of handling situations or even become the characters themselves.

The play aims to make the children aware of the dangers to which they could be exposed during the early years of secondary school and to help them realise the correct and safe options.

The tour is sponsored by the Road Safety Scotland and performed by the Baldy Bane Theatre Company.
