STUDENTS from York College will be touring primary schools throughout York with a production exploring prejudice and friendship.

The students are part of the Fourthwall Theatre Company, which is made up of second-year performing arts students.

They will be performing Peacemaker, by David Holman, which tells the story of the blue and red people who live on either side of a wall and do not speak.

Course tutor Anthony Ravenhall said: "It's an entertaining piece for young children and drives home the message in a subtle way.

"The students have had a lot of fun rehearsing and are looking forward to seeing the children's reaction to the different characters in the story."

The students will be touring a number of schools, including Cawood, Ralph Butterield, and Heworth schools, from February 24 to March 5.
