Amy Evans' Strike
 by John Finnemore

The moving tale of a minor's strike

Amy is 12. Halfway through history, she stops working and refuses to start again. She knows what she wants to do with her life, she explains, and GCSEs just aren’t part of it.

Her teachers can’t snap her out of it. Soon others join her strike. The school begins to spiral out of control. The press, then the Government, get involved.

Amy’s simple stand has become a national scandal. But what does she really want?
 
 

A colourful and vibrant ensemble performance exploring the state of play in the playground.
