THE MISSING PLAY

On 24th May, the Blue Mango theatre came to

our school for the show The missing. There

were students of 3rd and 4th ESO in the gym.

The play was 1 hour long and there were three

players: two women and a man.

The play was about a city controlled by the

gangsters, in the 1920′s Chicago; and under

the rules of prohibition. Two rival gangs- the

Tunas and the Shadows, fight for control of the

city. When a huge fire rips through Big

Tuna’s warehouse Loli Lilo, a young female journalist, decides to go undercover

and investigate. But she soon discovers nobody is quite what they seem…

We – Carol, Núria, Sergi, Luis, Elena, Manel and Álvaro - interviewed the

Birmingham, in the center of England.
