Dennis Potter deservedly achieved almost iconic status as a scriptwriter and playwright at the end of the 2Oth Century for his accessible yet challenging original talent.

This play relates the intriguing and increasingly alarming activities of seven-year olds on a summer afternoon during World War II.

Willie tags along as burly Billy bullies Raymond and is challenged by fair-minded John. Audrey is overshadowed by Angela's prettiness and wreaks her angry frustrations on the boys. All of them gang up on the terrified 'Donald Duck'  who, abused by his mother and ridiculed by his peers, plays his own dangerous game of pyromania.

The dramatic resolution will not disappoint.
