Ten Times Table

Synopsis

A play

The leading lights of the village have decided to hold a pageant of local history based on a somewhat vague event, "The Massacre of the Pendon Twelve".

But there's a young left wing teacher on the committee who decides to turn it into a rally for proletarian revolution.

Committee meetings become symbolic battlefields for conflicting views - the right wing faction being led by the Chairman's conservative wife.

The event turns into a violent confrontation between the two extremes, with cataclysmic results.

Police intervention brings matters to a relatively quiet conclusion, but already another pageant - Romans versus Britons - seems an attractive possibility.
