On Sunday 19 March over 250 young people from all over north London made their way to the Rainbow Theatre in Finsbury Park for the Victory Youth Group’s (VYG) Queen of Hearts event.

The play, Queen of Hearts, followed the progress of a girl in multiple relationships and the negative impact this had on her. It looked at issues of consent and pressures in relationships. Dating and hanging out with a number of different boys simultaneously did not result in the ‘heroine’ ending up with the pick of the bunch, but alone.

In turn, the audience was captivated and engaged as moments of comedy gave way to scenes that shocked. The performance culminated in the revelation that this was the real life story of a young woman who was present, and who went on to tell more of her story in an interview with Pastor Ade Titilawo.

The show took place against the background of the current Home Office Disrespect NoBody campaign. This seeks to help 12 – 18 year old boys and girls understand the nature of a healthy relationship and re-think their views of controlling behaviour, violence, abuse, sexual abuse and the meaning of consent.

The aim is to prevent the onset of domestic violence in adults by challenging attitudes and behaviours among young people that abuse in relationships is acceptable.
