Whites of Their Eyes By Morgan Sproxton This play was commissioned as part of TEN and first performed in March 2019 by 55 members of Hull Truck Theatre’s Young Company. TEN featured 10 ten-minute plays, each based on a year in the decade since Hull Truck Theatre moved in to its Ferensway home. This play was inspired by news of a significant rise in classroom violence in 2014. Plot This play follows a school class on what they think is a normal day and is simultaneously set in the present, whilst looking back on events as if they were in the past. Notes: Recommended for 12+. This play contains some mild bad language and hints to violence. When a character speaks it says their name in bold on the left side of the page with their dialogue on the right. The chorus of young people in the play take on the voice of the classroom teacher. About the playwright: Morgan Sproxton is a playwright and dramatist from Hull. She began her writing career at Hull Truck Theatre and has since worked with the Royal Court Theatre, Birmingham Repertory Theatre and Silent Uproar.
