A Wee Taste was written to raise awareness of the issue of underage drinking. It was developed through interviews and research with the Northlands Centre, the Drink Think Project and the Divert Project in Northern Ireland. First produced in 2011 the production served as an intervention tool to raise awareness among young people of the negative impacts of underage drinking.
This publication is part of a series of plays that address social issues and aim to make a social impact. Other plays in the series and by the same author are: Don't Say A Word - a play about domestic violence; See No Evil - a portrayal of elder abuse; Every Move You Make - a drama on abusive relationships among young people. Each publication includes a lesson / workshop plan that can be used with groups to explore the issues through drama.
Plays for Social Impact will interest anyone interested in theatre and social issues including theatre lovers, teachers, drama students, social work students, pastoral teachers, social workers, community activists, policy makers and the general public.
'We had a large audience comprising young people, parents, youth workers, PSNI Diversionary Officers and social workers. It is a very hard-hitting play addressing key messages about the consequences of underage drinking. Excellent.' Leona McGee, Project Officer, Fermanagh Community Safety Partnership
'An outstanding performance. The script and performance struck home with the pupils in a way that was entertaining, educational and above all believable. Schools need more work of this quality!'
