An extract from 'West Side' (Living Here Play Number 4)
Written by Natalie McGrath
In collaboration with Hannah W, Gary S, Stephanie H, Emma B and Sam J at West Exe Technology College.
They become the CHORUS once more and find a rhythm to the dialogue and have a more frenetic series of gestures and movements to accompany it this time. A contrast to the opening.
We live Here
Within earshot of the Exe
The artery that divides us
The heart that brings us together
This is where we shine
Bonny and free
Laughing at sayings like
"Children should be seen and not heard"
Its like doomsday
To our ears
So we run in fields
Until our hearts burst
Pinching apples from trees
Smelling the smell of sweet cut grass
Escaping amidst it all
Enjoying who we are
Dreaming
Full of hope
For the future
We charge towards the River
Which has amazingly frozen over
It is a miracle
Finishes with an Ice Skating routine on the River Exe which has frozen over. Oh and some music of course!
