It’s a simple idea, really. 1. Wear a uniform; 2. Protect who you
love, what you care about; 3. Let nothing get in your way. Someone
mugged Bruce’s mum and he is not having it. The shock is still
visible in her trembling fingers, rippling out across the calm
waters of their lives. He grabs his hoodie, his uniform, his cape
and goes out to find the culprit. Smithy wants everyone to stay
inside, Uhuru wants everyone out. Tanya thinks it’s boyish fun
and games until, very suddenly, it isn’t. Inua Ellams's play
questions the boundaries between our right to self-defense and
taking the law into our own hands. Told with five roles spanning
from young people to adults, it deals with themes that young people
face today: the role of boundaries and what happens when someone
'crosses the line'; fear and the use of self-defense; and examining
different perspectives on a situation. Originally commissioned by
Synergy Theatre Project Cape premiered at London's Unicorn Theatre
in 2013 and went on to tour schools, prisons and a young offender
institution. This new edition, published within Methuen Drama's
Plays For Young People series features notes for teachers and
exercises for students for practical use in the classroom.
