At school some friends & I put on Fifteen Minute Hamlet, a silly, short farce by Tom Stoppard. We had hundreds of people come see it,more than went to see the official school play, a long, tired rendition of Kindertransport. Stoppard came to see our play. The drama teacher didn't speak to us after.
