The response has been amazing so far from children in schools. They said: “It’s been really interesting to hear how differently each of them interprets the show. Each student takes away something different.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Director Robb Watt said: “The core of this show digs into how young people have complicated conversations around gender, identity, sexuality, power and consent. It asks the question, \u2018If we can learn to have complex conversations, then how would the world change for the better?”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These conversations are particularly prominent outside the theatre right now throughout LGBT+ history month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milo said how they definitely felt there was progress in the teachers’ conversations about sexuality, social media and gender being spoken about within schools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI mean, the fact in itself that schools are even inviting us to come in, shows the progress.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milo said that in the theatre performances, “Adults are having a similar response to the children. They\u2019ve seemed really emotional and moved by it, and it seems to make them reflect on their own school experiences, which are different to what is shown in our show.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They added: \u201cI think its so important the students\u00a0\u00a0get to see a show like this with so much inclusivity, just for them to see characters of different ethnicities or sexualities.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
