Released by Shropshire County Council
Hundreds of Shropshire primary school children will be learning about road safety when a special drama performance tours ten county schools from Monday 30 October.
'Cat Ninelives in Deepest Trubble' is a drama packed full of fun, music and madcap characters, that teaches children about topics such as cycle safety, pedestrian responsibility and, above all, common sense.
It follows the character of 'Cat' as she goes on a quest, with the help of the audience, to find the answers to a safe lifestyle on the road.
It is hoped over 2000 five to eleven year-olds will be watching the production.
Caroline House, Road Safety Officer, with Shropshire County Council, said: "Theatre in education is a fun and memorable way of helping to make children aware of the dangers of the road. We hope the children watching the play will remember the important messages and are delighted to bring this superb drama group back to the county to perform this lively, popular production."
The play will be performed by the Walking Forward Theatre Company, whose Shropshire tour has been organised and funded by Shropshire County Council, with sponsorship from Bridgnorth District Community Safety Partnership. It forms part of Shropshire County Council's developing programme of bringing road safety education and training into schools and colleges.
