Wasted by Rhiannon Tise was a newly developed theatre in education programme commissioned by Greenwich Drug Education Team to contribute to the overall strategy of drugs education for young people (Key stages 3 & 4) in the borough.

Wasted explores the issue of ‘binge drinking’ through its characters Jimi and Kylie. It is an interactive piece which has workshops integrated throughout the drama. As well as binge drinking, the workshops also deal with cannabis and its legalisation alongside other areas of drugs education.

The workshops are facilitated by an, ‘in role’ D.J. character, Marki D. while the audience are put into role as Marki D’s live studio audience. The interactive sections include discussion, practical games and exercises and questions, which can also be asked through SMS text messaging.
