James Marsh is in his final year of high school. He has been suffering from bullying for months at the hands of Jason Mitchell and his friends but, as they return to school after the Easter break, Jason takes his tormenting to a whole new level. As James struggles to cope, a teacher at the school finds his hands tied when he attempts to help him, Jason spirals out of control, and a former friend of James tries to make amends. "Breaking Point" is a hard-hitting, honest play about homophobic bullying for the 2020s. Designed to be performed on a bare stage with a minimum amount of props, the play is available for performance by amateur and professional companies (see inside the book for full details). Recommended for fifteen years and upwards.
