Description

A group of students arrange a sponsored 24-hour fast to raise money for charity. Two of the students, Charlie and Holly, brag that they could carry on, and in refusing to back down, they embark on a dangerous fast that lasts for days. The story is played out entirely through chats in the school canteen, relying on realistic and often hilarious dialogue. This script explores relevant issues such as celebrity, media, and friendship, presented with humour and sensitivity. Suitable for close analysis or performance, this play is ideal for Key Stage 3 students, offering a range of important topics in an accessible way. The book includes back-of-book activities and free online teaching resources, including lesson plans mapped to the Framework.
