| Craig Egan is one of our clients. | During the time I have
been here on the programme some aspects have appealed to me more than others
have. The one that has made a profound effect on me has been performing the
play ‘In Your Face’, directed by one of the staff, Simon Donnelly.
The play gave me a great sense of achievement in learning my part and the respect the audiences gave us. I felt the audiences listened to the production and that it had a definite impact. For me this was the most rewarding factor , portraying the life of a heroin addicted and the dangers involved. I wanted the students to take this on board - the fact that drugs will harm and kill you given the chance. The play is a hard-hitting performance , which should sway people’s idea of taking heroin. If we swayed one person’s view and saved their life then the play has been a success. Hopefully the production will grow as will T.H.O.M.A.S. and we can perform it in front of mor e audiences early next year . The fact that the play could be marketed is an interesting prospect. We hope to take our Drama Workshop to different parts of the UK. All the actors are ex-drug users. This is an excellent tool for schools and colleges. It also provides stimulating discussions.
