Background
The idea for the show initially came when the creators decided that as both of them had been bullied as children, it would be interesting to create a musical around the issue. The only problem was, it had been done. So they started looking into the more obscure stories of bullying, things that never came to light because they are brushed under the carpet instead of addressed. This brought about the idea of Intesa, bringing together 6 of these taboo issues and allowing them to be brought to the forefront of public knowledge.
While the stories in themselves may be tough to hear, the writers were certain they wanted the show to be as true to life as possible, so people could see that they indeed were genuine issues in today's society.
