 * What happened to Yvonne? **

We are doing a performance piece about six girls in their mid-teens at a party, who don’t think over the consequences of taking drugs and alcohol. They live in the moment and don’t think about how things could affect them later on. Because of this, they convince their friend (Julie) to jump off a balcony into a pool as a dare, but (Julie) ends up killing herself because of peer pressure.

We are doing this particular performance because we feel that it reflects how teenagers act nowadays and how their actions are impulsive and not thought out. We are doing this scene to make people more aware of the mindset of teenagers today and how teenage girls in particular affect each other’s decisions through peer pressure and bitchiness.

We would like the audience to gain a further understanding of how a teenager’s mind works and the consequences of their actions, and how alcohol affects the young people more and this means that they will take more dangerous risks than others. The characters in out performance include: **Holly** – The loud, confident one 
 * Yvonne** – The cool, sexy one
 * Natalie** – The sneaky, bitchy one
 * Nina** – The naive, innocent one
 * Kate** – The hardcore one
 * Claire** – The nice, motherly one
