“I would prefer not to...” When a quiet child suddenly and politely refuses any task set, the equilibrium of the class is disrupted and a young TA is driven to distraction. This unique performance has a cast of five children and two adults and explores the strains on pupils and staff returning to school post-lockdown. Adapted from short story Bartleby, the Scrivener by Herman Melville, this new play tells the story of a young teaching assistant who is charged with looking after a class of children struggling to adjust to school again after lockdown.
