Lower Sixth student Sam George recently performed one of the Gaza Monologues. A series of 31, the monologues were written by 13-17 year old children in Gaza, recording their experiences and feelings.
Theatre companies all over the world volunteered to perform their own interpretations of the monologues as part of a collective effort to represent the views of those whose voices are seldom heard in the mainstream global press. To Sam, it's not about taking a political position, but about directing attention towards those caught in the middle of the conflict.
Here's a short video interview with Sam in which he talks about the Monologues and his experience of performing.
Sam's studying Drama, Music, English, Politics and the AQA Baccalaureate, and ultimately hopes to pursue a career in acting. He's also an accomplished musician, having played solo acoustic gigs and in bands.
