Was the theatre worried by the mayhem in its youth session for school years 7 to 12?
“Not a bit!” the theatre’s Beccy Allen said. “It was all part of an exhilarating stage combat session.”
The session run by Christina Forrest at the Limehouse venue had been chosen by Lunar member Keira for her Jack Petchey Achievement award.
The workshop had everyone focused, full of energy and brimming with enthusiasm.
