A young girl is in her bedroom studying for exams when her soldier boyfriend arrives home unexpectedly from active service abroad. What happens during the next 90 minutes in the little room changes the girl for ever - her attitude to her father, war and violence, and life itself. This Edward Bond drama text, which was commissioned by the BBC Schools Service and televised for 14-to-17-year-olds, is accompanied by a poem and stories used in rehearsals, and comprehensive teaching notes, including an interview with the playwright.
