Synopsis
Four students have been called to their principal’s office. They believe they have nothing to do with a recent bullying 'incident' that has occurred and finally come to light in their school. All four students come from different backgrounds and have different views on the 'urban myth' that is bullying. Throughout the play we see the students come to the realization that they all had a part to play in the bullying and that no matter what we do it is
impossible to escape this vicious cycle - " Nothing’s as simple as black and white".
