It's too much for some. John Tate leaves the group. And Brian made to act against his moral instincts, completely loses his sanity.' Can I just say John, we haven't done anything But if we have done a thing, which we haven't, but if have than we did it together! Whatever we did, we did. Me and Phil, It wasn’t just Phil. By the bridge, last week. A fat Caucasian male, Five-nine say, with thinning hair and a postman's uniform. Sad eyes... Softly spoken. Scene 3: Adam is alive and has been living in a hedge. He has survived by living off dead animals. He has clearly sustained a head injury. Phil instructs Jan, Mark and Lou to leave and not say anything. He shows Cathy how to kill Adam by tying a plastic bag around Brian’s head (who is by not on medication and is clearly losing his mind). Leah begs him not to do this.

Everyone else stays calm, keep your mouth shut. Tell no one or we'll all go to prison. Just get on with things.Chimps are evil... they murder each other. Did you know that? They kill and torture each other to find a better position within the social structure. And Someone pegged a stone at him. Not to hit him, just for the laugh and you should have seen his face. I mean the fear the, It was so... You had to laugh right? The expression, the fear.

Scene 4: Leah does not speak. Phil offers her a sweet and as he puts his arm round her to show affection, she spits out the sweet and leaves in disgust. Phil shouts after her.Scene 4: Leah speaks about bonobos being our nearest relatives. ‘Chimps are evil. They murder each other…they kill and sometimes torture each other to find a better position within the social structure’ (p26). This could be seen as the author’s voice coming through about how he feels about the nature of bullies.

Scene 1: The audience learn that someone is ‘not going’…this is a reference to Brian not going to the police station No matter what the circumstance, you know the gang will defend itself. Not just from outsiders, but from itself. Weak leaders are seen as threats. And they constantly have to be on the lookout for challenges. Defiantly a victim of that. He gets us to frame an innocent person, gets someone to identify the body and kill Adam when he turns up alive.The new GCSE Drama examination for Edexcel asks a lot of students. It includes a written examination, as part of which the students are asked to approach a script (from a selection provided by Edexcel) and answer questions linked to acting, directing and designing. Within the short time period they must also complete a live evaluation. This scheme of work will focus on the scripted element of the exam. In the exam, students are given an extract from the play and must answer five questions on it, each linked to different elements. They are not allowed to take in an annotated text, which any real director would have. This is hard work, and means that the students need not only to know how they would direct the whole play in depth, but that they must know it off by heart.

Out of the blue, one of the gang discovers Adam. He's not dead at all. He's living in a hedge, just banged his head. Eating dead animals. So, what do you do?I sometimes think you're not human. I sometimes think I wonder, what would you do if I killed myself right here in front of you? What would you do? What would you do Phil?! I kind of wonder if people have always behaved like this? You know, being bullies? Within a group? Or if it’s a constant theme of human history. Does that bother you Phil? Cathy doesn't care, she's too busy running things. You wouldn’t believe how thingshave got. Phil, she's insane! She cut a first years finger off! That’s what they say anyway. Doesn't that bother you? Aren’t you bothered?! For years we thought that Chimps were our closest living relative but now they're saying it’s Bonobos.
