Judd wants to abolish the whole system of British life; Bennett wants a successful career within it. The school and the system have traditional ways of dealing with rebels.

REVIEWS:

"Subtle [and] absorbing."

 London Daily Mail

"A genuinely exciting political play. His acerbic wit finds a perfect match in the precocious self-importance of his subjects."
