AMY EVANS' STRIKE
by John Finnemore (2000).
13th September - 9th October
Amy Evans. 12 years old. Well behaved. Polite. Clever. Teachers like her. She's no trouble. Kids think she's OK. Quiet, but cool enough… Until the day Amy puts down her pen and announces she's going on strike from school. No more lessons, no more homework, no more detentions. No more time wasted on pointless SATs and GCSEs that she doesn't need anyway. Amy knows what she wants do with her life and what she needs to do it. And the National Curriculum, thank you very much, can stuff itself.
The original production of AMY EVANS' STRIKE was nominated for a Fringe First at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2001.
