A group of students are accused of committing a serious offense that no one wants to take responsibility for. Consequently, the entire group ends up being punished by the school.
This forum theatre production explores the principles of discipline and punishment, providing a premise for a discussion about the reasons for and effectiveness of punishment. It poses the question – is punishment meant to seek justice or it is merely a disciplinary tool? The audience will be encouraged to step into the shoes of the characters to examine the attitudes and beliefs behind the system of discipline and punishment portrayed in the scenario and to create feasible alternatives to the status quo.
40 Strokes explores the fundamental issue of discipline and punishment and aims to help students analyse the rationale behind it.
Ages: Recommended age group: 13 – 15 yrs old
