At the end of the sixth-form at my school the outgoing students did a play, known as the Sixth Form Entertainment. We wrote, performed and organised it all ourselves, and it usually involved various teachers, particularly those who were leaving. It so happened that I got involved in the writing of ours, which was called 'TRAGEDY!' (after the Steps song, which was performed during the production). The plot (which resembled Swiss cheese) revolved around the tragic kidnap of the headmistress, Miss Perry. The play began with her coming into the school hall and motioning the audience (the entire rest of the school) to stand, and taking most of Friday afternoon prayers/assembly as normal. Then suddenly that portion of O Fortuna blared out, and two black-clad figures leapt from behind the stage curtains to seize her and drag her backstage. It was later revealed that the culprits were the wicked Deputy Headgirls, Stef and Vicky (frequently dressed as Steed and Peel respectively); they were of course thwarted by the brave super and noble (cheers cheers cheers) Headgirl, Emma, and the rest of the sixth form. We all played ourselves.
The whole thing was pretty surreal - I persuaded a history and an English teacher to play Pooh and Piglet, and got our tall, skinny, bespectacled male French teacher to play (Where's) Wally, in a ridiculous jumper. It was all terribly entertaining, for us at least.
