The Little Shop of Horrors
We lost Emily at the very start of the summer holidays. Just a few weeks before, we’d had some small rehearsals for Little Shop of Horrors. She was going to play the part of Ronnette, alongside some of our other friends. One day, Emily came into school after reading the entire script the night before. She already remembered so many of her lines and she started to recite stage directions, she was most excited about the romantic scenes between Seymour and Audrey. Knowing how excited Emily was about the school play made some of the later rehearsals hard, but they were also so significant because we knew who was motivating us all to keep going.
