They carry their bags to school, back home, and then to school again. Heavier and heavier, until it becomes too heavy to move.
There is a fight in the school between Brana, Shirin and Kelvin. The parents are called in to investigate as the teachers have no clue on who to punish. Join the teachers, students, and parents as they uncover details of that fateful day when they fight happened, as they travel through Moral lesson, history lesson, PE and other periods to discover the truth, and ultimately find out what made the students break out! 8 Ways to Lighten the School Bag is a humourous look at our country, its systems, and our education. What’s your education?
The play was written through KLPac’s inaugural Community Writing Project - an attempt to involve the community in theatre making. Through a 3-month workshop, the participants played, wrote and are now acting in a play they wrote together.
