Three Needles in a Haystack
Bill McCreary
Good 'N' Plenty
by Jeffrey Hatcher
Synopsis
Wintersville High School, 1976. Richard Miller is the hip new Social Studies instructor at his crumbling old alma matter, and decides to teach his students about the U.S. criminal justice system by staging a “drug game,” where the students play pushers, buyers, narcs, cops, and lawyers, using Good & Plenty candies as the contraband of choice.
Bad idea -- after a hilarious unraveling of authority, with switcheroos and betrayals galore, most of the school has landed in actual jail.
A brilliant twist on high school madness, and a compelling meditation on democracy, as well.
