Synopsis

Dead Proud is a collection of lively and irreverent sketches written and performed by young women from Second Wave, a South East London based arts project. The project aims to encourage new writing for the theatre from young black and white working-class women, and, with access to fully equipped theatre facilities, provides a forum for them to perform their plays. The scenes presented in the video are drawn from the writers own experience and offer down-to-earth, humorous look at series issues, including teenage pregnancy, leaving school and family relationships.
