Return of the Bully
Part 2 in the Bullying Trilogy
The Team
Trisha Starrs has been writing and directing plays for young people for the last 20 years. In Return of the Bully practical strategies are taught during the play to help the children understand and deal with bullying. The actors involved in this production are drama graduates and have strong backgrounds in theatre and working with children.
The Play
At the end of the play BULLY NO MORE Becksy and Eric become friends but we don’t know what has happened to Becksy’s older brother Alex. In RETURN OF THE BULLY we find Alex is still bullying the other kids at school particularly the very popular Poppy who he thinks should: “get off her high horse!” Poppy turns to her old friend and teacher Sensei who unveils to her: “the three secrets of the bully and the six strategies to deal with them.” With this knowledge they decide that together they can stop the bully.
In Return of the Bully students learn how to stop bullies without becoming a bully.
