It tells the story of Ally who arrives from Manchester to start at a new school in Cumbria. Ally is black and faces different reactions from the pupils and teachers at her new school. A workshop following the performance gives pupils the opportunity to practically explore how the characters could have acted differently.

It was commissioned in 2005 in response to the Cumbrian Attitudes Survey which revealed that people in Cumbria admitted to being most prejudiced towards refugees, asylum-seekers, Gypsies and Travellers. It explores the prejudice experienced by Nadine, who is an asylum seeker from Zimbabwe and Francis, who is a Gypsy and school dinner lady. They both face hostility from Cumbrian school pupils and the community. Download a copy of the teaching pack: |
