This play is about a progress class which go on a trip for the first time, Mrs Kay cares for the children a great deal and just wants them to have fun as long as they donīt hurt anyone or themselves. ... When put into a situation however with one of the children threatening to jump from a cliff he loosens up and takes the class to the fair where they have a great time. ... Now that you can read and write youīre back in normal classes."
Here we learn that people in the Progress Class cannot even read or write, this shows us how deprived these children are and how they donīt even get much of a chance to learn, even the head teacher has no will to get them a decent education. ... "

They obviously donīt have much interaction with animals and decide to take some with them, they steal all sorts of small animals, but the zookeeper is quick enough to get to them in time to tell Mr Briggs. ... Each scene develops Willy Russellīs concerns by making the situations increasingly severe each time and how they donīt seem to see anything wrong with what they are doing. ... She comments on how you were able to teach them how to obey and expect more than the job at the factory but they canīt do that now, because of the decline in traditional industries around that time. ...
