SNAPPED IN HALF!

Derek Oliver • February 23, 2018

Diary of a drama teacher...

Children really can make me laugh - especially when they get the wrong end of the stick. We had a boy playing The Master (the captain of the ship) who was horrified when I said the mast had snapped in half. 'I don't want to be snapped in half!' he said worriedly. Much relief all round when I explained I meant the ship's mast and not him.
