Way Too Cool – performance

Way too Cool

written and composed by Craig Christie

directed by Ava Hunt

Performing at Derby Theatre

Marley and Henry have been friends since they met in year three.  They enjoy playing games online and sharing books. They’ve shared their hopes and dreams and always looked out for each other.  But recently something has changed.  Henry has started avoiding Marley at school.  He’s too busy for their usual catch ups at the weekend. He’s not acting the same. In fact – he’s not acting like Henry at all…

What has happened to Henry?

Is it because of Tam, the new person that has just arrived?

How can Marley make things the way they used to be?

Could the answers lie in the books they used to love to share?!

WAY TOO COOL is a brand-new educational musical that will explore the challenges of transition to secondary school, making new friends and how to take care of our well-being. The show and workshop have strong links to compassion training and PSHE curriculum.
