Ă propos de ce livre
Is there intrinsic evil in the world?In a bleak, remote town, a small child is murdered. Suspicion falls on nine-year-old Lizzie. Convinced her daughter is guilty, Lizzie's young mother must make the torturous choice between ignoring her intuition and presenting Lizzie to the police.Lizzie is not the only one who is changed forever by the act. The adults around her, bewildered and full of denial, find their accepted beliefs crumbling around them in a play which explores the sources of violence and its legacy.1998 Jill Blewett Playwright's Award.

Acknowledgements
The authorâs research for this play included reading a wide variety of newspaper articles on the James Bulger case, the Eric Smith case, the Mary Bell case and the Jeffrey Dahmer case as well as various childrenâs rhymes and fairy tales. Gitta Serenyâs book, The Case of Mary Bell (London: Arrow Books, 1972) was another very helpful resource.
SCENE ONE
The wasteland. LIZZIE plays a game with stones and sticks.
LIZZIE:
Ding dong my funeral bell,
Farewell to my mother.
Bury me in the old churchyard
Beside my elder brother.
My coffin shall be white,
Six white angels by my side,

SCENE TWO

Mum? One more day of school. Then itâs Christmas Eve! Dad, will you come to our place for Christmas? And then itâs the holidays, I can wash their hair for you!

She collects them. How do you spell chihuahua?
Pause.
Mum?
ANGELA: Do you think we could have five minutesâ silence? Please?
WARREN: How much you taking off?!
ANGELA: You had knots.
LIZZIE: How many minutes left?
ANGELA: Four and a half.
LIZZIE: I have to spell it right, or Iâll get busted.
ANGELA cuts. WARREN reads the paper.
Mum, can you show me how to do that?
WARREN: Not on my hair you wonât.
ANGELA: The scissors are too sharp for you. When youâre older. [To WARREN] So what about Christmas? You doing anything?
WARREN: Iâl...
