Reviews/comments
'The production was very well received by the external examiner. He particularly liked the way the students were challenged by the political material and the fact that they had to perform multiple roles with complex voices and characterisation. Almost all the students received "A"s for their work. Our principal said it was the "best play he had ever seen"…' Drama Teacher, Mercedes College
