A classic play for young adults: a teenage girl (who lives with her widowed father) is doing her homework on a lazy afternoon when her boyfriend stops by... and informs her that he has no intention of doing his military service because he objects to violence on moral grounds. Although set in post-WWII Britain, the play explores the universal themes of young love, patriotism, pacifism and father-daughter relationships. Great for YA acting classes/workshops. This edition includes an interview with the author and extensive production notes intended to make amateur productions and group readings of the play easier.
