I had this idea for a play where it’s your classic “Who Dunnit?!” Murder mystery about a girl who is dying TOMORROW, and it’s your job as the audience to the killer.
It starts with her dad, abusive, drunk, talking about how much he hates her. “the world would be better off without you” “my life would’ve been perfect if you weren’t born” “why don’t you just die already and help your father out?”
She goes to school, and she is extremely bullied. She can’t take it, and physically fights her main bully, breaking his nose. He hates that “I’LL KILL YOU FOR THAT YOU FREAK!”
She’s sent to the principal’s office. But the headteacher is manipulating her, GROOMING her but she says no. I won’t be your playtoy anymore. He’s mad, “I know where you live, I’ll find you if you say no again.”
So who did it? The abusive dad, the bully or the headteacher? Who killed her?
In the end.
She kills herself.
Her name is never revealed, the actors say “Her name is-” and then they all say the names of actual teenagers who have killed themselves.
After they stop, she says “Will my name be yours?”
Its a message about teenage suicide and how to prevent it, notice the signs, all that.
Thought it was cool
