School inspections are stressful enough without the printing of scandalous claims about the true state of the school! This play tackles serious issues of censorship nad freedom of speech whilst celebrating the life of Tom Paine, the ‘greatest Englishman ever’.
The book contains a playscript focussing on such issues as freedom of speech, teenage idealism, reputations and censorship.
Accompanying resources contain activities for drama (including role-play), reading, writing, and speaking and listening. These are accompanied by extension material, including extracts from modern and pre-20th-century works for comparison, and documentary material. The resources are organised under the following headings:
• Staging the play
• Work on and around the script
• Themes in and around the play
