The document proposes a sex education performance and workshop to be held at the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham. The performance would involve scenarios acted out by teenage actors covering topics like sex, relationships and contraception. This would be followed by workshops allowing audience members to process the information, including hot seating actors and roleplaying conversations. The Royal Concert Hall is suggested as the venue due to its size and facilities being suitable for large school groups.

3. Review 2 Angel house is a play centred around 2 brothers, and was preformed in the Nottingham playhouse. By the theatre company Eclipse. The two brothers who grew up in the same rough neighbourhood, have taken completely different paths, and display some of the troubles that affect these communities. The play goes over drug and domestic abuse, sexuality and relationships; however it doesn’t seem to resolve the story at the end. There is no solid conclusion it simply puts these various situations out there for the audience to interpret. There were a lot of scene changes throughout the play which had the locations light up whilst props were being moved around, I found this a bit of a cheat but it did help in keeping up with the plot. The set was very simplistic a simple window backdrop, with battered scaffolding and rubble with a stairwell in the centre. However I found the floor very strange it was a blue floor with dirty white stripes coming from the centre it didn’t seem to fit with the feel of the play. The theatre space in the playhouse has 2 levels and a raised stage, it can be played with but there are limitations – the seating is set there are stalls and a circle. With this play the set was very far forward so it was a bit more personal. Overall the play was very real and I felt the some actors brought the emotion out extremely well – particularly the character Mrs J the boys mother who has toiled in raising them and now struggles to see them falling, she also brings some humour to the play.
