BASSETT
by James Graham
Directed by Christie O'Carroll
Traverse Theatre 24 - 26 March 2011
Lyceum Theatre 17 June 2011 as part of Connections 2011
A supply teacher has locked the door and run out on a group of pupils at Wootton Bassett School...
Spencer has been told to face the wall and intends to do so and Dean should have gone to the toilet before class.
All of the pupils are aware that out on the street a repatriation of another fallen British soldier is about to begin and Leo really wants to go.
Bassett is a darkly comic, powerful look at young people questioning their country and beliefs while living in a world where they can hardly remember a time when we were not at war.

OCTOBER HALF TERM 2009
Young people aged 8-12 took part in two full-day workshops.
The first focused on the history of the Lyceum, Victorian Theatre and the stars of the day, Henry Irving and Ellen Terry.
The second workshop gave young people the chance to experience a day in the life of a professional actor at the Lyceum.
Activities included creating scenes, character work, costume and stage makeup and behind-the-scenes info and a tour.
