Ravi a traversé la Terre pour trouver un nouveau chez lui, loin des horreurs d’une guerre sanglante au Syrie. Obtenir le droit d’asile en Angleterre est déjà compliqué. Mais c’est lorsque Ravi est enfin accepté comme réfugié que ses vrais problèmes commencent. Sa mère et lui sont logés dans une cité délabrée en banlieue d’une grande ville anglaise, cité dominée par un gang raciste...

Le Teachers' Pack joint contient des informations sur le racisme, incluant des données du Comité des réfugiés, une organisation qui aide les immigrés et les réfugiés en Grande-Bretagne.

Ravi: Hi…I’ve just moved in here.
Jaz: Well you’d better just move out again, hadn’t you?
Ravi: What do you mean?
Fiz: This is Gough Street. This is our patch.
Snoz: And we don’t like people like you.
Ravi: But…you don’t know me.
Jaz: We don’t want to know you, kid.
Fiz: Where are you from?
Ravi: I’m from Syria.
Snoz: Never heard of it. Where’s that?
Ravi: It’s to the south of Turkey.
Jaz: Well you can just get back to Pingy Pongy or wherever it is. Because we don’t want you here.
Ravi: But I live here. This is my home.
Fiz: Wrong. This is our home.
Snoz: We live here.
Jaz: And there’s no room for you – foreigner!

Tommy: I think I know Grant better than you do. He can’t handle it when a relationship gets too…close. It was the same with the girlfriend he had back at home two month ago –
Wendy: What? He had another girlfriend?
Tommy: Oh, didn’t he tell you? Oh god, I shouldn’t have said anything. I’m sure it was nothing. Forget I mentioned her.
Wendy: He had another girlfriend back home?
Tommy: I promised him I wouldn’t tell you. I’m sorry. I shouldnt have said anything about her.
Wendy: The bastard!
Tommy: Yeah, he’s treated you really badly, hasn’t he? You trusted him, didn’t you?
Wendy: That’s right, I trusted him.
Tommy: Look Wendy, I’m here for you. Forget Grant. I’ll look after you.

A play about bullying - serious, moving, rousing

What happens when exclusion, violence and digital attacks become part of everyday life?

“Sticks and Stones” takes an unsparing look at the topic of bullying - from the perspective of the victims, the perpetrators ... and those who simply stand by and watch.

  • Tony no longer dares to go to school - a group of boys want to beat him up.

  • Ruth is being bullied online – her life is a nightmare.

But who are the bullies? And what motivates them?

The play not only introduces us to the victims and perpetrators, but also focuses on the observers - those who look the other way or remain silent. Yet it is precisely in them that the greatest hope lies: because those who look can make a difference.

Performed using Brechtian theater methods, the play encourages reflection - and action.

“Sticks and Stones” - a powerful play in English about civil courage, compassion and responsibility.

Victims: all alone
no-one to talk to
on our own
we suffer in silence
Try not to cry
Try not to show our pain
Hoping they won’t do it again

Can’t tell our parents
They wouldn’t understand
Can’t tell the teachers
They’d only make it worse
Can’t tell our friends
What friends?
The others are all on the side of the bullies
Watching our misery, watching our pain
