On Thursday 1st July the Year 12 Drama students are performing the feminist play, Girls Like That by Evan Placey.

Friends and whanau are invited to attend these performances in the Girls' High theatre. Each class will perform their play directed by their classroom teacher, Miss Eves or Miss Tinworth. The shows are at the following times: 4:30pm, 6pm, and 7:30pm. As these performances are being assessed for NCEA please do not be late. The play is not suitable for a younger audience.

The play follows a teenage girl named Scarlett. When a naked photo of Scarlett gets sent around the school in a matter of minutes, the fallout reveals the underlying social dynamic as her peer group reacts to what’s happened. As the girls, previously her close friends, distance themselves from Scarlett, we see their own vulnerabilities and anxieties about self image and sexuality exposed. And when a photograph of Russell also circulates, the double standards for girls and boys are also revealed.
