Liam Scott’s drama, emphasizes the importance of wearing a seat belt. Based upon a real life tragedy that happened just a few years ago. Perfect tells Anne’s tale. Anne is a pretty young girl, who after being thrown through the windscreen in a road traffic crash, miraculously survives. She had over three hundred stitches to her face and head, “all because she didn’t wear her seatbelt”. After being quite literally scalped and suffering months of painful operations, Anne had to live with the constant reminder of how important wearing a seatbelt really is. It was the face she saw in the mirror very day. Sadly after eighteen months of needless suffering. Anne decided to take her own life.

Concluding the drama is a visual realisation workshop. This dramatic exploration aims to provide students with critical thinking skills, self-image enhancement and communications skills. For a few moments the student explores a new role in order to experiment with various personal choices regarding in car safety and solutions to the very real problems that may occur in real life. This happens in a safe atmosphere, where actions and consequences can be examined, discussed and in a very real sense and experienced without the dangers and pitfalls that such experimentation would obviously lead to in the “real” world.

This highly emotive, hard-hitting drama lasts 40 minutes and the post performance workshop with question and answer session requires 15 minutes to complete.
