Morrison’s Pupils Perform for Writer
This year's Transitional Production at Morrison's Academy was the Eco play 'A Load of Rubbish' by Sue Gordon. The performances took place in the school's Memorial Hall which provided an intimate setting for this entertaining production. The play mixed humour with a strong eco message to deliver some important information on the benefits of recycling and reusing as much of our rubbish as possible. The cast of twenty performed the play with energy and enthusiasm, positively accentuating the message and raising lots of laughs from the audience along the way.
On the first night the pupils were read a message of good luck sent to them by Sue Gordon, the author, who lives in Perth. The pupils responded to this positively but had an even greater surprise at the end of the second night when they were introduced to Sue who had come to see her play being performed for the first time. She expressed her delight at seeing her words come alive on stage and commended the children on the quality of their performance. This rounded off what one pupil described as '...the best fun and most exciting thing I've ever done!'
