CUBA

Introduction

Cuba is about two fourteen-year-old girls who are deeply affected by the Cuban Missile Crisis. Barbara Proctor and Bernadette Griggs come from different social classes but are best friends. They both truly believe the world is about to end; suddenly the usual Saturday business of hair-dyeing, dress-making, horoscopes and magazine consultation - not to mention their romantic obsession with their teacher and his fiancée - pale into insignificance beside their highly imaginative fears. Daring each other on, they decide to spend their last days taking on the Establishment, and making a stand for women and peace.

Activities devised by Karen Allen, Martine Bligh, Rick and Jan Holroyd and Andy Kempe.
