Three school leavers, Salty, Hobby and Gail Saunders perform to an audience an account of their time in secondary school (given the name 'Whitewall' for their performance), specifically their time with Mr Jeff Nixon, the new drama teacher who ignites their passion for the stage with his idealism and belief that all children should be treated equally. The children mention that the names of the characters have been changed: Mr Nixon's real name is Mr Harrison, mentioned at the beginning. At the end of the play he leaves Whitewall High School to teach at St George's, another school with much better teachers.

I played three characters

1: Mr Biggs
Mr Biggs was one of the hardest characters to play because I had to put on a deeper voice than I could and I needed to over react on my lines. Also I needed to make it look like to the audience that I was only using Miss Baxendale. My charcter is muscaly  with a Rude attitude

Mr Biggs is the school gym/PE teacher he would rater be other places than be in the school because he don't think its up to his standard

2: Mr A (Andys dad)
Another character that was a little easier than Mr Biggs because you only needed to talk like I'm very specific.
hard worker
silly and a caring dad but what he says it pressures Andy even more about the exam

3: Student
My student character was the easiest to play I had a very cheeky mind and loving towards Ashura's character (use movement to communicate) I had to always pretend to do my exam and stay in my character. I also needed to focus on my queues.

We all used the same type of costume which was school clothing

.White T-shirt
.Black trousers
.Black school shoes

We used this type of clothing because it fits in with the school environment and the only odd thing was when we played with our different characters we was still in the uniform while we play other characters than the students
