This performance and workshop is part of our Challenging Choices programme, which pairs a short monologue performance with an engaging workshop – allowing young people time and space to explore their ideas and develop their opinions through the story of a fictional character.
Luke has always known he’s gay – and it’s something he’s ok with. But he’s worried about the reaction he’d get from family and friends if he was to open up and be honest. And the lads in school make things much worse, always winding each other up and making fun of other people in school too. When they turn on Luke, making fun of him and accusing his of fancying his best friend Callum, things go too far – leaving Luke sad and vulnerable, and not knowing where to turn.
This performance, delivered by a single actor, is part of a one hour / 90 minute session which helps young people explore the impact of homophobia and that words and actions can have significant consequences.
The session can be repeated up to 6 times each day in a school.
