Willy Russell puts his thoughts in most of the character’s mouths and this is how he gets across to the audience. ... If the play had no humour no-one would get attracted to it and the message that Willy Russell is sending wouldn’t get across about kids not getting any education and having nothing to look forward to. Willy Russell makes the play natural by putting everyday words and sayings into their mouths like ‘Agh`ey’ and ‘There’s nott’n comin’. ... Willy describes her in the book as a girl;
‘Wearing a school uniform which doubles as a street outfit and her Sunday best. ... Kay thinks the trip is for a good day out and Mr. Briggs thinks it is for an educational day out. ...
