In the play, I chose to take on the role of Shuttle, in Mike Wheeler’s educational play “Arson About”. The story is of three high school students who break into their school to find out who is sending threatening letters to one of the characters, to only find themselves trapped in a fire. Because it is a theatre and education play, we chose to set it in a Scottish area to make it more relevant to people at our school.
I did a bit of research and found out “Over 1,350 schools in the UK are damaged by fire every year.” This is relevant to the play and has helped me understand both the play itself and my character.
