Student play to turn professional
3:00pm Wednesday 8th February 2012 in Harwich & Manningtree By Helen Barnett
STUDENTS will turn their GCSE coursework into a professional theatre production after receiving government funding.
Year 11 East Bergholt High School pupils Ben Horrex and Jake Mayes, received more than £1,500 from the Arts Council to present their Performing Arts project to members of the public.
Their project, Asylum, explores the reasons behind fleeing home and portrays the difficulties of trying to settle in a new country.
