A group of students arrange a sponsored 24-hour fast to raise money
for charity. Two of the students, Charlie and Holly, brag that they
could carry on, and in refusing to back down they end up embarking
on a dangerous fast that lasts for days. The national media picks
up the story, setting up a donations hotline and spurring the two
on until a story breaks that threatens to ruin everything. Played
out entirely through chats in the school canteen, the script relies
on the realistic and often hilarious dialogue that is David Grant's
trademark. What's the hook? Snappy, comic dialogue and hugely
relevant issues. What are the themes? Celebrity, media and
friendship. Teaching points Perfect for reading around a classroom,
full-blown performance or for close analysis as a text, this is a
play about a range of important issues presented with humour and
sensitivity. * Realistic dialogue coupled with witty insights make
this the ideal play for Key Stage 3. * Explores interesting topics
in a way that is accessible to Key Stage 3 students. * Supported by
back-of-book activities and free online teaching resources
including lesson plans mapped to the Framework.
