RAGING
Raging, a play by Dawn Garrigan based on the stories and experiences of young people in Orchard Lodge Secure Unit. It offered a creative approach to issues around crime, loyalty and friendship. A community drama worker provided an eight-week residency for a selected group of young men at Orchard Lodge to explore their own personal histories and the choices they had made in regard to offending and anti-social behaviour. This material was used as a starting point for a touring theatre in education piece at key-stage 4. The performance was supported by a post-show workshop facilitated by the cast that explored with the audience the reasons behind crime and anti-social behaviour. The tour finished with a performance back at Orchard Lodge so that the participants could see the full extent of how their work has been shaped by a professional company. This project was funded by London Arts through the Regional Arts Lottery Program (RALP).
