The Wall Between Us

As part of this year’s Good Relation Week. Key Stage 3 Drama pupils from St.Brigid’s College will be performing a short play called “The Wall Between Us”

The short drama will be performed at St.Brigid’s College on Friday 17th October at 1.30pm for an audience of Key Stage 3 pupils. “The Wall Between Us” is a powerful and thought-provoking play that explores the impact of racism, prejudice, and silence in a contemporary school setting in Northern Ireland. Through a series of interconnected scenes, the play follows four students—Liam, Chloe, Jake, and Emily—as they confront their own biases and the societal walls that divide people based on race, nationality, and difference.
