Last Orders, by Solomon Theatre Company was staged in school on 3rd December and performed to all of Yr 9. Last Orders is a KS3 Alcohol Educational programme which also addresses sexual health issues and links to crime and anti-social behaviour.
Developed by a team of doctors, police, NSPCC professionals and teachers, Last Orders looks at the consequences of binge drinking by young people. It is written in an accessible, hard-hitting style that immediately captures the attention and imagination of its target audience. Students are shown how alcohol affects the way people think – their inhibitions, attitude to risk and ultimately their self-control.
Following the performance, specially designed workshops explore the themes of anti-social behaviour, illegal purchase, attitude to risk and sexual health (including pregnancy and STIs).
