SMASHED - a play about alcohol misuse – is about to tour schools across the North-East in the coming weeks.
Pupils at 29 schools in the region will watch and discuss Smashed, a theatre education programme sponsored by drinks firm Diageo and performed by Collingwood Learning.
The play tells of a group of friends whose misuse of alcohol ends in tragedy.
The project helps pupils understand the facts, causes, and consequences of alcohol misuse and underage drinking.
