ACCEPTANCE TOUR
One Woman Play Acceptance has just completed a successful tour to all schools across the Scottish Borders, funded by The Borders Council.
Acceptance by Lisa Nicoll is fantastic. The
feedback from the students was exceptional and they very much appreciated the
opportunity to see it. No negatives at all- Lisa was enthusiastic from start to
finish and the play clearly struck a chord for many of them and gave them
something to think about. Acceptance is a superb resource and should be
considered to be show on an annual basis.
