A gripping and urgent play about a well-meaning teacher who
intervenes on behalf of a troublesome student, with terrifying
consequences. When white secondary-school teacher Amanda is pushed
to the ground by black student Jason, she's reluctant to report him
as she knows exclusion could condemn him to a future as troubled as
his past. But when Jason decides to protect himself by spinning a
story of his own, Amanda is 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. Vivienne Franzmann's
first play, Mogadishu won the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting in
2008 and the George Devine Award in 2010. It was first produced at
the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, in 2011.
