Big Brother meets Kill Bill meets Jack (of Beanstalk fame) meets Tony Martin (infamous Brit who took a shotgun to an intruder)... mash these together to create Kill Jill which explores the hot topical issues of homeowners defending themselves, and asks how far can Reality TV be allowed to go?

"What a great script! Powerful stuff Mark! At times the dialogue's surreal - I found the build up of tension in the visit to George 's castle and the scene between Jill and George started to put the play in firm thriller territory! The playfulness with style and wide range of reference points all make it a clear continuation of your 'anytime, anyplace, anywhere' theatrical freedom . Kill Jill is a very fizzy ride!"
Paul Mills - Head of Drama, Westgate School, Winchester

It is a play that will both delight Drama teachers and their students as it is full of imaginative techniques and will thrill anyone exploring Citizenship issues through imaginative and entertaining Theatre productions.

"My year 11 are having so much fun with this and, though they don't even realise it, so much more. Nice one, boyo."
