2 Smart
“2Smart” is a roadshow which tours Essex schools each year delivering a range of thought provoking messages about drugs, alcohol and staying safe.
The London Bus Theatre Company will be performing two scenes and a fantastic, amusing version of the massive hit by The Village People "YMCA".
In sketch 1 we see Jason, Charlie, Deano and Charlotte out on the street on
their way to a party. Jason, the gang leader, already breaking his ASBO is
carrying a knife. Alcohol abuse, pills and bullying ensure events take a
turn for the worse. When Charlotte turns to talk to us about knives and
alcohol we are left in no doubt that by stopping and thinking about the
consequences of binge drinking she becomes a much cooler person than she was
before.
The second sketch is an original game show based on the format of "Deal or
no deal". Did you know for instance that alcohol is the most common drug to
spike soft drinks, like lemonade, in order to make you unconscious and rob
you? Other facts about drugs are given throughout the scene leaving everyone
with a thorough understanding of substance misuse. Charlotte's game becomes
her personal epiphany. Will the drug dealer make an offer she can't refuse?"
