Description: The image is occasionally disrupted with distortion and static whilst the audio is mostly inaudible. A wide shot captures the whole stage and set, occasionally zooming in and out to capture the action and actors' facial expressions. This is framed with the shadows of the audience, with occasional laughter and clapping. Each scene begins with a chalkboard that introduces the title of the scene and the settings accompanied with a non-diegetic narrator announcing the number of the scene and the setting. The set features a symbolic L-shaped brick wall that remains throughout the scenes with changes in furniture and props.

Tensions rise in act two of “Fall in and Follow Me” as a group of schoolboys organize a strike to protest corporal punishment and outdated school practices. Act two starts with a conversation between a teacher and shop manager cheerfully endorsing physical discipline, followed by a group of boys huddled together, plotting a rebellion. With threats of caning, the boys refuse to be cowed and boldly decide to take action. As they strike, their rebellion grows into an impassioned cause, highlighted by a moving display in the playground, where each boy passionately defends their decision.

The boys' acts of defiance intensify as they mock the judicial system and engage in a joyful yet anarchic mock trial. Tension builds as the boys’ actions catch the attention of the media and the police, forcing them into hiding. Interspersed with moments of humor and poignant personal conflicts — from a mother’s harsh reaction to her son’s involvement in the strike, to Wilson’s desire to break free from his mother’s expectations — the strike becomes a symbol of youthful defiance against societal constraints.

The final scene reveals that despite the official resistance, a new form of discipline is introduced, symbolizing a change in the old order. The cast all enter to take their bow as the audience clap. The juxtaposition of humor, childhood innocence, and sharp criticism of corporal punishment and the media in the 20th century makes for a unique depiction of white working class Bethnal Green youth.
