Bullying tackled by budding stars of the stage

Budding stars of the stage will tackle the issue of bullying in schools with a contemporary drama production.

Students at Mount St Mary’s College, in Spinkhill, are staging an adaption of Jacqueline Wilson’s novel ‘Bad Girls’.

The emotive play will be performed at the school’s theatre on Friday, June 26 by a cast of more than 30 Year Seven and Eight pupils.

Jack Murphy, Head of English and Drama at Mount St Mary’s College, said: “The plays takes a sensitive look at the emotions suffered by a 10-year-old girl when she becomes the victim of bullying at school.

“It is our third extra-curricular production this school year and follows the hugely successful production of ‘Oliver!’ at Christmas and ‘The Kiteman’ in April reflecting Mount St Mary’s commitment to providing pupils with a wide range of performance opportunities.”
