[First published on May 18, 1986] Gossip and rumour – how far can they travel?

Youngsters at the Hong Kong International School explored the question in their musical production Disco Disco.

It concerns high school three students, who for their science fair project, set out to do research on the impact of rumour on people.

They begin a very simple rumour “that there will be state-wide disco contest held sometime in the near future and watch what happens.

At the start of the project, the students of their high school are excited about the “contest” and practice for a chance to win the competition.

But the project snowballs and other schools get involved and a state contest is actually held.

Hollywood promises to donate big prizes to the winners in return for the “exclusive”.
