About the Resource

A superb resource for producing devised or semi-devised work.

In this brand new project Mark has conducted interviews with students and staff at a Pupil Referral Unit and listened to their stories. Their regrets, their wisdom, their wit and their fears are all here in a format which will inspire your students to create fantastic drama, whether “just” for classroom work or for examination / assessment. Fantastically relevant and thought-provoking monologues / duologues presented in a unique way.

Mark Wheeller is well known for his riveting documentary / verbatim plays such as Hard to Swallow, Too Much Punch for Judy and Missing: Dan Nolan. The scripts are shaped from hours of interviews with the real-life people involved in the stories.

Danny Sturrock, a Videographer (Wheellerplays - The Definitive Authors Collection) and Playwright (Gagging for It!, Surfing on Suicide) has illustrated and interpreted the interviews with a riveting video which will captivate your students.

Here is a short trailer from the accompanying video:

In the project you get:

• A 2,000 word introduction by Mark Wheeller

• Access to a 33 minute High Definition video interpreting the project (invitation will be issued to view restricted video on Youtube - see download sheet below for details)
  
• A transcript of the video
• An example of cross-cutting for use with one of the tasks
• The stories as individual MP3s
• Statistics on exclusions
