The Pack is one of 5 plays commissioned by Wonder Fools for Positive Stories for Negative Times, an innovative and exciting project that provides the opportunity and space for young people to participate in creative activities during the pandemic, allowing them to come together to create new work.  Wonder fools have commissioned some of the UK’s most exciting writers and over 200 groups around the UK (& beyond) have responded to their work. The plays are written specifically to be performed remotely, or live if government guidelines allow. 

Petre will be working at St Roch’s Secondary over four days in June and by the end of this process, the participating young people will have created a short performance piece and a video.
