Description
Cape by Inua Ellams is a powerful play that explores the boundaries between self-defense and taking the law into one's own hands. When someone mugs his mother, a young man takes action to protect her, but soon finds himself in a complex situation where different perspectives collide. The play examines themes of fear, boundaries, and the consequences of our actions. With five roles spanning from young people to adults, it tackles issues that are relevant to today's young people, including what happens when someone 'crosses the line' and how we respond to threats. This new edition features notes for teachers and exercises for students, making it a useful resource for practical use in the classroom.
