Welcome!

The stage is dark - slowly the lights rise, revealing a child crumpled on the floor shielded by a thin sheet.  A woman's voice begins to echo around the theatre. The child does not move, yet can be heard responding to the voice  - the audience are hearing the child's thoughts.

Voice: The child's knowledge, shielded.  The child's imagination, contained. The child's dignity, hidden.  Some people just don't realise how education can change a child's life. Inspiration. Dedication. Love. All can be created by learning.  How can a child understand the world's future - their future - when they do not understand how it works.  What is the future?  I wish I knew.  The world is ill and the vast population are not helping.  They never will know how to help... without first learning.

Child:   Prosperity. Love. Dedication.
 
Voice:  The child speaks. Never has this happened before.

Child:   Shielded. Contained. Hidden. 

Voice:  The child copies my words...

Child:   Change.

Voice:   The child's imagination... the adaptation of my words...

Child:   We learn and we learn - for knowledge feeds us.

Voice:   How wise the child can be.

Child:    Then we change.
