A group of drama students at Kingston University have been touring round the local schools with a play aimed at 7 and 8 year olds.  The theme is personal safety and is based on the Red Ridinghood story.

Yesterday they were celebrating the fact that they had given 23 performances, reaching 2000 children.  So they put it on once more, with an audience from St John's School, at the University. 

It was brilliant!  The children responded with great enthusiasm and quickly learned the 'No. Go. Tell' message as well as picking up others important rules, like sticking with friends and not going out in the dark.
