STUDLEY High School pupils took part in a gritty drama about road accidents this week when a touring theatre company dropped by.

On Monday, Year 8 and 9 pupils were encouraged to take part in a production of Something Really Scary, performed by company Playbox Theatre and commissioned by Warwickshire County Council to raise awareness of issues facing young drivers.

Pupils were given the chance to examine the events of the play and make decisions as to how situations could be avoided or dealt with appropriately.

The play featured the death of a young person, with humour, music and romantic interest injected to provide light relief.

Playbox Theatre will be visiting various other schools within Warwickshire to perform the play.
