My Secret is Discovered -- a play

This is a script to read in class or perform. It is about the nature of language, particularly figures of speech and idiom. It is set in a school and revolves around a new student.
The play can be used in Drama (it takes about twenty-five minutes to perform) or read in English, where it can used to reinforce teaching about metaphor and idiom.
The resource consists of one editable word processing file: things like characters' names can be changed, or the number of characters can be reduced or increased. Just about all roles can be played by either male or female students with little alteration to the script.
The play is designed for Key Stage 3 students. It is most suitable for year seven and eight pupils.
