On Thursday scene change theatre visited Worcester Cathedral to work with two schools, St Mary's Kingswinford and Small Heath School from Birmingham. Due to traffic problems we started the day a little late and it meant we had to work faster than normal with the children to catch up. They really rose to the challenge! The play begins with two tribes facing eachother in a stand off. One represents the wasteful parts of our nature towards the earth and the other gang represents the grateful. The Wasteful gang are challenged by a mysterious arbitrator to change their ways or lose the planet. He takes them on a journey to see how China is being polluted by industry that we drive and benefit from. He then shows them a Museum of extinct and endangered animals where they meet a Californian Condor, salt water crocodiles and an India Cobra. The final exhibit, to their surprise, are humans. Will they now change their ways or remain wasteful in their attitudes..... They chose to be grateful and the play finishes with the children performing a rap they have created making pledges to live a more responsible life on the planet. This was possible our last Down to Earth in a Cathedral in 2010. More photos fro the day will follow in the next few days.
