Gender Inequality: 'The Double Standard' Initial Planning...

Yesterday with Mr Brown absent we, as a class brainstormed ideas for our Brechtian Theatre piece. After deciding upon gender inequality; 'the double standard' we split into our groups and spoke about how we wanted to devise our performance which is to be shown inside a health class. Angus, Sian, Hannah and I have talked about setting the piece in an actual classroom: having a dean walk in, to talk to their students about a very serious issue. Here we are thinking that the dean would take on the role of the narrator. We are thinking that a boy was seen hugging another boy and this was taken out of context; calling him gay. The boy is severely harassed but we are unsure as to what will happen to him (possibly he commits suicide.) We hope to be able to develop our idea, rehearse it and apply all of the Brechtian techniques tomorrow during the double period.
