Tron Participation are always interested in the rehearsal process for shows, we like to get our hands on inside information and because of this we have asked Sally and Keith to blog about their experience.
The blogs will be posted from next week so be sure to keep an eye out on The Tron Theatre’s Creativity Portal and Glow Group. If you have any questions for Sally and Keith about their experiences of being actors please post a comment on our Glow page.

CAGED
Directed by Gill Robertson
Presented by Catherine Wheels
Thursday the 28th – Saturday 30th April 10.30am, 1.30pm and 7.45pm at the Tron Theatre
Beauty and the beast will never get on.
He licks his hands, stands on the toilet and runs through the woods.
She carries a hankie, never gets mud on her shoes and always remembers to send a thank-you note.
So how come, when she sees him run like that,
when he brings down a deer, when they sit at night just watching the stars, how come her heart starts to spin?
Beauty and the Beast will never get on. Will they?
Caged is a story about two people trapped together and finding more freedom than they ever imagined.
Caged looks at the themes of:
- Changing ideas of ‘beauty’ – in history, art, fashion, your local area or in the media
- Persecution and isolation – finding real life links to the Beast character in society today, people in the past or in other works of fiction.
- Changing tales – focusing on the original French tale and the different adaptations throughout the years. Helping pupils to consider what each new voice was trying to tell us and gaining a more rounded picture of the issues that arise.
- True love and heartbreak – some of our most powerful stories from the classics to modern day soap operas have sparked into life because of love or loss. What different things have people or characters been willing to risk just to get what they desire?
Caged will develop self awareness by encouraging pupils to explore relationships and to consider how they relate to others. It will also help to develop more informed, ethical views of complex issues and see the importance of respecting other people’s needs and beliefs. It is suitable for everyone aged 8 years and above.
Within the Curriculum for Excellence, Caged will link to key area of – Literacy, Health and Wellbeing and Skills for life. And it also has secondary school subject links to Drama, English, PSE, History, Modern Studies, Art and RME
