Two young people, Rhoda and Brian, find they sometimes
experience racism at their school. Brian is upset, but
Rhoda takes a more
positive approach by suggesting they use their experiences
to complete their Society and Environment project. Through
drama, songs and monologues, Rhoda and Brian explore the delicate
issues of prejudice and racism both in today’s world
and in the past.

MERCEDES COLLEGE
“
This was a great production – which combined contemporary
issues of racism with historical components. It used both humour
and pathos most effectively to give the students a relevant
message!”

and the kids enjoyed the show.”
NEWMAN COLLEGE

well to them!”
SHENTON COLLEGE
“ Kids enjoyed the play. Actors established good
rapport with the students. Easy to book and organize. Cheap
also!”
WANNEROO SHS
“
Performers were fantastic – versatile and adaptable to
the audience. Thought provoking scenarios were presented to
the audience. The various allusions were challenging and hopefully
encouraged some students to explore prejudice throughout history
a little more.”
