The Daisy Chain

This is the story of Daisy who turned rebellion into an art form; quite literally on one occasion when she endures the pain of an illegal tattoo with hilarious consequences. Her substance abuse and wild behaviour lead to a chain of events which change her life forever when Daisy finds herself packed off to America to experience Wilderness Therapy. Will it work?
Will Daisy find her way in life and what will it mean for her future?

The Daisy Chain is a tough yet poignant story and is the result of a unique collaboration between Daisy Walton, a GCSE Drama pupil and her Drama teacher Richard Jones. A chance conversation resulted in Daisy recounting the moving and inspirational events of her life thus far with Richard dramatising them accordingly.
The harsh, contemporary style with a mainly choral approach provides ideal material for older students of Drama, youth theatres and festival work. The script also encourages young actors to develop their own responses and to explore styles and genre.

Richard Jones is a writer, Drama teacher and youth theatre director.
Daisy Walton is currently continuing her studies and remains great
friends with the wonderful people she met in America.
