tententheatre

Some of you may have joined us for our ‘Day for Life’ celebrations back in May. One of the events staged here at the Initiative was an excellent production of ‘Babies’ a play by Martin O’Brien and the tententheatre group.

Tententheatre exists to advance the social, moral, spiritual and cultural education of children, young people, young offenders, prisoners, teachers and the general public through drama and the performing arts.

‘Babies’ (for KS4, sixth formers, s4-s6 and adults) tells the story of Annie and Joe, a teenage couple facing an unexpected pregnancy and “covers a wide range of themes dealing with teenage pregancy, abortion, parenthood, relationships, marriage, family life, love and responsibility”.

Tenten have just embarked on a new project ‘Chased’ (for KS3, Year 9 or S3) which “explores issues of self-worth, respect for others, the value of sex and the influence of drugs and alcohol on decision-making.”

Over the course of 2008 tenten will be touring schools and parishes across Britain with both plays - many dates have already been taken but if you’re interested in booking them (and we very much recommend them) you can get in touch by:
