>Arson About


The Play and Workshop



Ian, his girlfriend Molly and his best mate Stueey are on a night out to the fair. But hanging over the 2 boys is the accusation that one of them has been sending threatening notes to a teacher. They decide to go into their school after evening classes have finished to investigate.

But when Ian has to make a choice between his girlfriend and his best mate, he is literally playing with fire. Who will he choose and what will be the consequences of the teenagers "just arsing about"?

Arson About is provided FREE to schools by the Norfolk Fire & Rescue Service and is a 75 minute theatre-in-education programme for Year 8 students, comprising a 45 minute play and a 30 minute workshop.

The workshop explains:

 What arson is and why it is a problem
 What are the consequences for perpetrators
 What are the consequences for victims and the community

The play demonstrates that "a bit of fun" with fire can easily escalate into a tragedy. The workshop develops the audiences understanding of the crime of arson and why it is such a problem, and looks at the consequences on victims, perpetrators and the community at large.
