Half Moon Young People's Theatre performs Rude and Loving It in a project funded by the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund. Twelve 14- to 16-year-olds from nine schools in Tower Hamlets chose the theme for the play before performing in it. It centres on a community where tensions between residents and young people are running high. Participant Stefan Vitalis said: "All of our ideas were taken into consideration. I liked the teamwork - it has built up my confidence." The Half Moon theatre company places particular emphasis on engaging those excluded due to ethnicity or disability.
