Ms Pugin has this to say: “Ms Coppin and I are so proud of you, drama girls! It takes courage to challenge perceptions and attitudes and both plays did just that. Well done, brave girls, for tackling systemic and entrenched racism, patriarchy and homophobia. These were difficult topics and they made a few people uncomfortable but dangerous and prejudiced attitudes should be challenged. The theatre is a place to explore how we can move society forward.
Thank goodness you are the future – free-thinkers, brave warriors for justice and humanity!” #JeppeDrama
