This is one of the most performed plays ever, (has just celebrated 5000 performances!) averaging nearly one performance a day since its first publication In the United Kingdom. The hard-hitting documentary styled script is the true story of a tragic drink drive accident that results in the death of Jo, front seat passenger.The driver, her sister Judy, escapes unharmed - or does she?

Here is a high quality drama, possibly the best to have been offered to schools in years.

Suitable for New Zealand NCEA assessment levels 1 and 2.

Having toured schools, colleges, prisons, army camps and the workplace, in the UK, Europe and New Zealand this fifty minute play is ideal for both schools and one act play festivals and has won countless awards. "It is important that we pay due cognisance of the invaluable role that Mark plays as a socially conscious dramatist, and for me it has been exhilarating to see his work extend beyond the early commissions to write for Theatre in Education companies and within the last decade to become one of the most performed playwrights in a wide range of professional and community venues as well as in educational establishments that face so many of the social problems that are addressed in his work." Charles Vance Editor of Amateur Stage. August 2005

There are extracts from this play on the excellent DVD ‘Wheeller Plays Exemplified’, as directed by professional director Tim Ford.
