For English we’ve been entered into a drama competition where we’ll compete against English classes in other schools.
Our class was divided into two groups. People who wanted to perform a play based on the poem ‘But You Didn’t’ are in one group, people who wanted to perform ‘Nought & Crosses’ are in the second. Luckily enough there’s a pretty even divide in our class with who wants what.

I’m in the group performing ‘Noughts & Crosses’, a play about love and racism. The play follows two people: Sephy Hadley (Karen) and Callum McGregor (me). Sephy is black, Callum is white. People who are black are seen as being higher up in society than people who are white. Sephy’s father is the Prime Minister and Callum’s mother got fired from being the Hadley’s maid. Their lives are very different but somehow they’re best friends and in love; with a dramatic twist thrown, the play keeps you on the edge of your seat!
The play is pretty long and I’m in almost every scene; a lot of lines to learn but also a lot of fun to be had :)
