Serena Laidley as 'Sarah James'



Sarah James

Siblings are Mathew and Daniel. Daniel is her older brother who is very protective of her, so most of her running she does she keeps it on the down low..."the streets have ears". Since her mother died she had to take up that role as her father was always in the church and her brother was in juvenile. It was left to her to cook and clean and take care of Mathew when she could.

Leaving home had given Sarah many experiences and to stand up on her own two feet. She found herself unable to maintain bills but doesn't want to go home, so she moved in with her man. This would appear to be paradise but as it's her brothers best friend... with this came consequences and repercussions!!!!!

When Sarah gets spare time she enjoys chilling with her old two school friends, Charmaine and Felicia. They are her home girls from day but they don't always understand her as they both live different lives. The "hot gyals" chose to go on to college for further education whereas Sarah chose to work and maintain a flat.

Even though she is loyal to her family she found love and acceptance in her partner .Her partner doesn't always treat her good but they do say love is blind...

Nathaniel as 'Daniel James'

Daniel James
17y/o

An older brother of two siblings, Sarah and Mathew. Grew up in a Christian house hold. His mother died when he was 12. His father threw himself into his role as a Pastor, so Daniel had to play mum and dad when looking after his brother and sister.

Daniel is seen as one of the "mandem" and has a big reputation in the endz, someone who don't play. Turning to another life Daniel found acceptance and security in his home boys; Dallas, who is a big cat on the endz and Jahmaine, as he found himself unable to live up to his dads expectations.

Locked up for 2yrs in juvenile helped Daniel to look at the barriers he faces as a young male, but on the other hand it's a life of excitement, power and hype. Coming out of prison he knows that it's not a life for him. He failed as a son, a role model his brother and sister once and this isn't an option again. Daniel knows if his mom was alive she would be disgusted and ashamed.

NOW he has a second chance he wants to make a change for the better. 

Preface

Master's Touch is a performing arts company that consists of 10-15 performers with a selection of GCSE, A Level and Degree levels in performance, health and social, sports and media. As a company not only do we entertain we also provide life skills and training offered in communities such as, creative writing, music production, costume design, dance classes, just to name a few. However, with different career paths and backgrounds it has not stopped us from achieving our mission at hand which is 'to touch people where they are at'.

Master's Touch will be putting on a one night only show at the Birmingham Library Theatre on the 11th December 2010 called 'Behind a Closed Door'. The storyline is based around a family that suffers with many issues in silence as individuals and as a family. These issues are never openly addressed or spoken about to family or close friends until a tragic accident happens and rocks their emotions and a family member seeks revenge. The piece not only has drama but dance, media and music to complement the piece as a whole.
