"Examination"

A one act play about exam stress for pupils & 3f & 2m by Tony Breeze ISBN: 9781872758152

The examination room is being prepared by two teachers.  The students file in nervously but there are two seats left vacant.  A girl comes in late.  The exam begins but the girl then stands up in her place and sullenly and silently appears to refuse to take part in the proceedings.  No-one can understand why she is doing this until the end of the play when we learn that her boyfriend has been so worried by the exam that he has taken his own life the night before due to the stress.
