LAST ORDERS for YEAR 9 pupils

Get Sorted arrange for the production of Last Orders through out Island High Schools. Last Orders is developed by a team of doctors, Police, NSPCC professionals and teachers, it looks at the consequences of binge drinking by young people.

Last Orders is written in an accessible, hard hitting style that immediately captures the attention and imagination of its target audience. Students are shown how alcohol affects the way people think – their inhibitions, attitude to risk and ultimately their self control.

The Last Orders presentation consists of a 60 minute piece of Theatre in which the audience sees a cast of 3 re-enacting an evening of binge drinking. It is based on real life events recorded by the author Mark Hyde in Wiltshire during the late 1990’s. The three young characters aged 15-17 years old suffer a series of consequences as a result of their drinking.

Following the performance, the audience then have the opportunity to interview the three characters in a ‘Jerry Springer’ TV studio style format. The sessions last up to 60 minutes and allow the students to explore the issues raised in the presentation in more detail.

The company used for Last Orders is Solomon Associates (UK) Ltd.
