Following some challenging behaviour in last year's company, thecreative team at Theatre Factory sat down with Senior 1 and we talked togetherat length about why bad behaviour happens and the stresses and pressures onyoung people today.
Out of those interesting discussions came this evening's entertainment.It is a mixture of the young people's own devised pieces plus some extractsfrom classic and modern plays.
