It was one of four joint winners of the Bruntwood Playwriting Competition in 2008[1] and the George Devine Award for most promising playwright in 2011.
Ignoring the advice of her daughter, Becky, to report the incident, Amanda resists telling the headmaster, Chris, for fear of ruining Jason's future.
In the meantime, Jason has enlisted his on-and-off girlfriend Dee and his friends Chug, Saif, Jordan and Chloe to back up his story that Amanda pushed him first and racially abused him.
Becky is enraged at their lies and turns to her black stepfather, Peter, to tell Amanda to take the situation seriously and contact her union.
While waiting late at night for a phone call to tell him what happened at the police station, Jason is interrupted by his father.
Becky confronts Jason alone in the playground and reveals that her own father killed himself, hanging himself with a Homer Simpson tie she had given him for Christmas.
The play premiered at the Royal Exchange in Manchester before transferring to the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith, London.
