Masking is a play by Nina Lemon designed to address the impact of modern life on teenagers’ mental health.
When the school’s lockdown alarm sounds everyone assumes it’s a drill. But soon a group of year 9 students find themselves stuck in a geography classroom with only Deputy Head Prefect Jamie to keep them under control. It becomes clear that the school is in lockdown because of an ‘incident’ with a pupil. While the group speculate as to the identity of the student and the nature of the ‘incident ‘it slowly emerges that, although no one’s talking about it, the students are all grappling with mental health issues of their own.
