Mullingar play! :D

Yeeeeeeow! we finally got to perform out plays on the big stage! it was so scary, everyone was so nervous that we were going to have to perform in front of other schools. Luckily we were the only school there so we could move swiftly with our performances. My play was up first and we were called 'Noughts & Crosses'. Its about a white boy (A Nought) and a black girl (A Cross) who were best friends since they were little in a world where white people are 'nothing' and black people run everything. Callum and Sephy are in love and there is a tragic end to this love story. Callum is accused of raping Sephy and is hung while she is pregnant with his unborn child. It is based on the novel Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman. This was a fun play to perform, but after practising it like 8 times the day before i was really starting to get sick of it. The other plays were amazing! they all made me cry except my own. One play called 'D.U.I' by girls in Emnet made me ball my eyes out! it was so silent in the theatre and all you could hear was me sobbing in the background, oh scarlet for me! then they played the song Stan by eminem,which is one of the saddest songs I've heard in my life believe it or not. Another play from emnet 'Time of your life' made me cry as well. It was very dramatic and there was humour too but they captured the aggressiveness and the horrific relationship the girl Sophia was in. There was other schools from Donegal there and their plays were a good bit longer than ours, they were very good although the story lines were simple, they were effective and interesting. We got chatting to girls from Donegal in Ty asking them what its like to go to school there and just about themselves in general. Before we saw the other schools we got to go to MCDONALDS! and i really felt like being fat hahahahaaha. i got a McChicken Sandwich, Medium Fries, Medium Coke and a Cookie. It was so yummy! i ate every single piece of the meal and i was still kinda hungry!
It was such a good day!
THE FINALS - WE'LL GET THROUGH YEEOW!
