27th March 2010 - Queen Elizabth Grammar School, Wakefield

Jake, likes to write stories, beautiful imaginative stories. He is being teased at school because he doesn't mix with the other students - namely Russell (the bully) and Natasha (the popular girl).

He has escaped to the roof of his apartment block to be alone and to write. While he is on the roof Polly discovers him. Natasha then appears and wants to know why Polly is talking to this ‘geek'.

Things go from bad to worse as Carol appears, then Russell, his followers, Buzz and Speed. The girls try to protect Jake, but Russell manages to grab him. The only thing that will save Jake is if he tells one of his stories, and Russell likes it. Once Jake starts to weave his tale the students become the story.

The story changes them and their relationships with each other forever.
 
There will be two performances each with a different cast.
