Description |
Drama made by students from Sir John Deane college in Northwich. A boy harassed by his classmates discovers a time-travelling device. This first transports him back to 1954, where the school is populated entirely by girls (and an attempt at a cross-dressing escape is swiftly found out) and then to 1944, where an air raid is in progress. He returns to 1964 when after a disconcerting interlude where all the pupils seem to have vanished, normality is restored. |
