"I don't understand..."

There are many websites with a wealth of information about the text if you are having trouble working out the plot. The text may be unlike anything you have read before - that's fine and a great challenge for you. Check out these websites, then read the play again. Remember to look up any words you don't understand. Start a dictionary for the text. I need you to be confident about the plot.

You were fortunate to see the rest of the year perform. Write a short response to the work of Will's and Simon's group. What themes were explored? What ideas did you develop about the text? How has this developed your understanding further?
