World premiere of Vivienne Franzmann's GRIPPING and URGENT play
"I'm going to give you one more chance to tell the truth.  So think very carefully about what you say..."
When white secondary school teacher Amanda is pushed to the ground by black student Jason, she's reluctant to report it as she knows exclusion could condemn him to a future as troubled as his past.  Once the boy and his peers have decide to protect themselves by spinning a story of their own, Amanda finds herself sucked into a vortex of lies in which victim becomes perpetrator.  With the truth becoming less clear and more dangerous by the day, it isn't long before careers, relationships and even lives are under threat in Vivienne Franzmann's GRIPPING and URGENT play.
 
DID YOU KNOW?
Bruntwood Award Winner Vivienne Franzmann was herself a secondary school teacher in East London for ten years.
