On Thursday, April 28th, the new Clyde Valley High School hosted its first public performance.
The play, Remember, Remember…, written by established and acclaimed playwright Martin Travers, was presented in the school theatre to packed audiences.
The production grew from a project involving S3 pupils aimed at challenging sectarianism and run in conjunction with Made 4U in ML2 and the Citizens Theatre. This partnership, forged last year, proved so successful that it was decided to take it a stage further, resulting in an original play being written by Martin specifically for the group.

Drama teacher Valerie Livingstone said: “This has been a huge, but tremendously rewarding, undertaking with, initially, several visits by Martin and then many weeks' rehearsal. Some scenes were choreographed by a professional choreographer and the pupils have put in incredible effort to bring it to fruition.
“We are extremely grateful to Made 4U in ML2, Martin and the Citizens Theatre for all they have done to help not only create an excellent play but also to give the pupils an experience that has been rewarding and enlightening and one that is worthy of being the first performance for the public in the brand new school building.”
